Description

Malthouse Farmhouse Stable Block is a former stable building dating from around 1800. It is constructed of brick with gault brick dressings and features a black pantiled roof. The original three-bay block has been slightly extended to the side. The building stands two storeys tall, with the original block defined by plain pilasters. The central bay has a large three-centred arch, while the left-hand bay contains five openings with skewback arches at the ground floor. The two-bay addition is marked by two giant order arches with lunettes at their heads, a large three-centred arch to the right, and a window with a skewback arch to the left. Both blocks are topped with a gault brick modillion cornice, and the roof is hipped at the road end.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
