Description

The Malt House is a 17th-century dwelling that features a lobby entrance type design, along with a tall early 19th-century side addition. The original timber-frame structure has been refaced with brick, while the addition is made of colour-washed brick. The roofs are covered with pantiles. The original wing consists of one storey with an attic and includes two 18th-century mullion and transom windows fitted with metal casements and board shutters. The front door is located opposite an off-centre axial stack, and there are remnants of rusticated jambs from former openings at the southern end. The building has four gabled dormers, some of which have 18th-century metal casements. The side addition is three storeys high, includes a cellar, and features three bays of sash windows with glazing bars that decrease in height with each storey. The windows are topped with skewback arches, and there is a central upper window that is blind. The gable-end stacks are also present. Inside the original wing, there is an ovolo moulded spine beam with ogee stops, and a staircase located on the entrance side of the stack has 17th-century turned landing balusters. The roof was replaced in the 20th century.
