Description

The Malt House is a house dating from the 17th century, with a 19th-century bay added at the south-west end. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone, partly roughcast, and features a stone slate roof. The building has stone, brick, and rendered chimneys and is designed in an L-plan with a lobby entry in the west wing. It stands two storeys tall with an attic.

The west wing has three bays of 17th-century chamfered stone mullion windows on the south front, all adorned with Tudor hoodmoulds. Most of these windows are three-light, but the ground floor of the right bay has a four-light window. There is a boarded door with a wooden lintel to the left, and the lobby entry is situated between the right windows, featuring dressed stone jambs, a wooden lintel, and a 20th-century door. The stack has three square rendered shafts. The 19th-century bay at the left end contains two-light wooden casements and a dressed stone chimney.

The east wing has a south return with bays; the left bay features a two-light chamfered stone mullion window above a 20th-century door, while the right bay has a 20th-century sash window in an altered opening. The gable end also includes sashes and a small two-light attic window with a chamfered wooden mullion and a renewed moulded wooden lintel. The north side of the wing has three bays with irregular openings, featuring old moulded or chamfered wooden lintels, although the left openings are blocked. The right bay has a four-light ground floor window with ovolo-moulded wooden mullions, and a three-light casement on the first floor.
