The Malt House

The Malt House is a house, likely built between 1738 and 1752. It is constructed of freestone with chamfered quoins, a band over the first floor, a rough cornice, and a parapet with coved copings. The roof is Cotswold stone, with coped verges and ashlar end chimneys. Three gabled dormers light the roof.

The house is two-and-a-half storeys in height and has three windows on each floor. The windows are wide-paned sash windows from the 19th century, with paired windows on the ground floor, all set within raised surrounds with keystones. A central doorway is set within a raised surround with bead moulding and a keystone, topped with scroll brackets supporting an open-pedimented hood, and has a half-glazed door. Attached to the right-hand side is a lower three-bay former maltings wing, now used as a garage and outhouse with a workshop.

At the rear is a gabled stair turret with a small window that is said to contain an opening casement used for paying wages.

Inside, a Chinese Chippendale staircase is a prominent feature. A ground floor sun room contains Gothic Chippendale bookcases. The south-east room has a fireplace with a small square head and an ogee-moulded surround.
