Description
Malt Shovel House is a 15th-century timber-framed house that was refronted in the 18th century. It retains the coved overhanging of its first floor on a bressummer. The building has two storeys and two windows. The ground floor is finished in painted brick, while the first floor is plastered. It features coved eaves and casement windows on the first floor. The ground floor includes an 18th-century bay shop window with its original glazing bars. The doorway has a rectangular fanlight and a flat hood supported by brackets, leading to a six-panel fielded door. The lower half of the roof is hipped, but it ends in a gable that is set back behind it. There is a stone next to the front door dated 1756, marking the boundary between St Mary's Parish and St Peter's Parish. Malt Shovel House is part of a group with Nos 17 to 21 (odd).
