Description

The Maltings is a late medieval building of high group value, originally a substantial house with an open hall and crown-post roof, and two crosswings. It was extended northwards during the 16th century and in subsequent centuries. Now divided into four separate dwellings, cottages 2 and 4 occupy the original house, while cottage No 1 is lower and has a gable facing the road. The building was restored in the 20th century. The front exhibits exposed timber framing with plaster infill; with the exception of the hall section, the upper storey is jettied, supported by exposed joists and curved brackets. It has two storeys and a five-window front, featuring casement windows with lattice leaded lights, which are mostly modern but sympathetic to the original style. The doorways are topped with four-centred arches and have boarded doors with fillets. The roofs are tiled, with two prominent chimney stacks, one featuring four grouped octagonal shafts at the north end, and an external stack at the rear.

The Maltings sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 62% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 23 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 76% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
