Description
The Old Malthouse is likely a former farmhouse that dates back to the early 18th century, possibly a remodelling of older structures. It is constructed of roughly coursed rubble with a Cotswold stone roof, featuring a central section that is taller and has end ashlar chimneys with a common cornice. The building is divided into three parts. The main central section has two windows on the first floor, which are cross-mullioned with leaded casements that retain old glass. On the ground floor, there is a three-light window to the left and an oak ovolo moulded mullion window with four lights to the right. The right-hand section includes a range of casement windows with wooden mullions and an inner doorway that features a six-panel door, with the top four panels being glazed, and an open pedimented stone hood supported by scroll brackets. To the left, there is a single-storey extension with one window.
