Malthouse Cottage And Maltings Adjoining

Malthouse Cottage and the adjoining maltings are late 18th-century structures that were originally used for malting or as oasts. Part of the maltings has been converted into a cottage. The cottage features a chequered pattern of red and grey brick, while the maltings have a chequered brick ground floor and ashlared chalk on the first floor, topped with a plain tile roof.

There are two square kilns with long stowages; one kiln runs parallel to the road with its kiln at the left end, and the other is positioned at right angles with a stowage adjoining the rear of the first kiln. The buildings stand two storeys high on a galletted stone plinth, although the cowls are missing from the kilns. The stowage that runs parallel to the road has a hipped roof on the right side.

The road-facing elevation features three small, evenly spaced rectangular windows on the first floor, each with pegged wooden architraves and cills, as well as wood diamond mullions. There is a full-height plank door at the left end of the stowage. The ground floor has three regularly spaced windows with segmental heads, stone cills, and iron diamond mullions, positioned under the first-floor door and between each of the first-floor windows.

On the left end elevation, the kiln closest to the road has a small eaves dormer, while the stowage joining the kilns has irregular fenestration and a plank door with a segmental head at the right end. The cottage, converted from the kiln furthest from the road, stands two storeys high on a brick plinth with a dentilled parapet and a rear stack. There is a plain dormer towards the top of the roof and a plain square 20th-century plate-glass window in the center of the first floor, replacing a larger blocked window. A 19th-century panelled door with a flat hood on carved brackets completes the cottage's entrance. The use of ashlared chalk in this area is unusual.
