Description
Maltings Cottage is a house that likely dates from the 16th century or early 17th century. It has one storey and attics, featuring a three-cell plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that includes two 19th-century eyebrow casement dormers. There is an axial chimney, with the shaft rebuilt in gault brick, along with a 19th-century gable chimney of gault brick on the left and a 20th-century chimney on the right. The cottage has mid-19th-century small-pane casements and two 19th-century entrance doors with four panels and glazed upper sections. The right-hand doorway is accompanied by a 19th-century pantiled gabled porch supported by posts. The interior has not been examined.
