The Maltings

This is a house, dating from approximately 1600, with an early 19th-century extension and 20th-century alterations. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a steeply pitched plain tiled roof and a shallow-pitched slate roof on the addition. The original design was a 4-bay, 3-cell cross-entry plan, later extended by one bay set at a right angle to the front. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a two-storey addition. The left return front of the original section has a boarded entrance to a rear service area, a 4-light casement with glazing bars to the hall, and 2-light glazing bar casements on the first floor. An original axial ridge stack is located between the hall and parlour. The parlour’s gable end facing the road features a ground floor canted bay window from the 19th century, and a 2-light casement in the attic. Bargeboards are also present. An entrance is situated where the main range meets the 19th-century addition, accompanied by a projecting ground floor canted bay window with three 16-pane architraved sash windows and a hipped roof, with a 2-light casement above. A wide-based stack is positioned towards the front on the right end. The rear inner return of the original range contains a boarded cross-entry door and 20th-century casements. The 19th-century section has weatherboarding and a door, with a partially recessed ground floor featuring two leaded lights, alongside a 16-pane sash window on the first floor. Internally, there is a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam, a bar stop-chamfered axial binding beam, 18th-century key blocked archways, edge halved scarf joints within the wall plates, and stop-chamfered tie beams. The roof is a single clasped purlin design with S-curved collars and reverse curved arched windbraces.
