Description
The Malt House is a maltings building with integral warehousing, dating from around 1860. It is constructed of random ragstone with quoins and red brick dressings, topped with a plain tile roof. The south-facing facade features gable ends for both the warehouse on the left and the maltings on the right of center, connected by a lower section. The building has two low storeys, with the warehouse extending to a third storey in the gable.
A central loading door is located above the tie-beam level of the warehouse, flanked by four single lights. There are two small, deeply-recessed windows with cambered heads positioned one above the other on the right side of the warehouse, and a half-glazed ground-floor door with a loading door directly above it on the left side. The linking section has much lower eaves and ridge than the warehouse, featuring a window with a cambered head on the right and a central boarded ground-floor door, with a first-floor door immediately above.
The maltings has a steeply-pitched roof that is hipped at both the front and rear, with a ridge topped by a louvred upstand, also covered with a hipped plain-tile roof. A segmental-headed ground-floor window is located on the left and a door on the right end of the gable. The right end section includes a segmental-headed first-floor window and a ground-floor door on the left. There is a further addition at the rear of the right gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
