Malthouse Farmhouse

Malthouse Farmhouse is a house that was once three cottages, dating from the 16th century, with significant alterations in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The walls are a mix of dark ironstone, brick with Flemish bond, tile-hanging for the upper floor, and yellow stone, with stone and brick quoins. The roof is tiled and has a catslide at the rear and gabled dormers.

The core of the building is a late medieval timber-framed three-bay hall, extended in the 17th century with a rear wing to the east and a large cross wing to the west (partly 17th century, mostly early 19th century). The south front is two-and-a-half storeys and has approximately two windows. It features casement windows, blocked doorways. The west elevation is two storeys and has approximately one-and-a-third windows. A late 20th-century extension is present on the north side. Casements are on the upper floor, and ground floor sash windows. A 20th-century stone and brick gabled porch is also present.

The rear elevation includes a large, centrally positioned, tile-hung gable dormer (containing the staircase), a lower wing to the east, some exposed timber framework to the old north wall, and an outshot to the north wing.

The interior retains some exposed timber framework and a 17th-century dog-leg staircase.
