Description

Malting Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1784, as indicated by the date painted on the chimney stack, with an early 17th century wing at the rear. The building has two storeys and attics, featuring two windows. It is timber-framed and rendered, with a slated roof and a gable chimney. The front has three-light 19th century casement windows and a gabled, slated, one-storey entrance porch with a 20th century door. The rear wing, dating from the early 17th century, is one and a half storeys with attics, also timber-framed and rendered, and has a plain-tiled roof with an axial red brick chimney and gabled casement dormers. There is a three-light attic window from around 1784, which has leaded glazing with wrought iron casements. The property features two pairs of wrought iron carriage entrance gates, also from around 1784, set on wrought iron piers with scroll decoration, and spear-head railings along the front.
