Description

Malthouse Farm House is a pair of cottages dating from the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. The buildings are primarily constructed of cob, with some timber-frame elements on the first floor, all of which are rendered. They feature a thatched roof and are one and a half storeys tall, comprising three bays and a smoke/passage bay.

The front of the cottages has a half-glazed door located in a 19th-century open porch on the left-hand side of the central narrow bay, with a similar door in the right-hand bay. There are also three-light casement windows beside two-light casements in the other bays. Above each bay, there are eyebrow dormers with either two or three lights. The roof is half-hipped, and there is a stack on the ridge above the narrow bay. The buildings are illustrated in "Clay and Cob Buildings" by J. McCarn, published in 1983.
