Gipping House

Gipping House is a late 18th century or early 19th century warehouse that was used as infantry barracks in 1803. It was converted into maltings in 1849 and is now utilized as a warehouse with offices. The building features a long brick riverfront range that is partly rendered and has four storeys, three of which are under a mansard roof that is tiled with some pantiles. There is a series of flat-roof dormers in the mansard. The first-floor windows have segmental heads. The centre of the building is slightly advanced and has a pedimented gable, originally flanked by tall narrow chimneys, with a doorway at the centre on each floor. The west end appears to be from the 19th century. At the east end, there is a mid-19th century maltings kiln made of brick, featuring a steep hipped roof topped with a later lantern, modern casements, and a large dormer. Inside, the floors are supported on timber posts, while the later west end has iron piers.
