Malt House Cottages

Malt House Cottages is a house, now converted into a row of houses, dating back to the 16th century or earlier, with later alterations and restoration in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed, with roughcast rendering and a slate roof. It stands on a rendered plinth and has a gable end jetty on the left. The roof is steeply pitched with a hipped shape. A projecting brick stack, with a rendered base, is visible on the left gable end, while a buff brick ridge stack sits roughly in the centre and a buff brick stack is positioned on the front slope of the roof of a right-end addition. The windows are arranged irregularly, with seven casements in total: two 3-light windows to the left of the central stack, two 2-light and two 3-light windows to the right, and a single 3-light window in the right-end addition. The cottages have half-glazed doors in roughcast porches: one to No. 1 (left end), a ribbed door to No. 2 under the central stack, another to No. 3 (right end), and one to the right end of the main range. The interior has not been inspected. The cottages were formerly known as Nos. 1-4 Well House.
