Malt House Farmhouse

Farmhouse, dating to the 16th century, with alterations in the 17th century, and later additions and modifications in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of limestone rubble, now rendered, with a pantiled roof featuring a brick ridge stack. The roof ridge is higher on the left side of the stack, and there are raised coped verges and a former gable stack to the left. The property originally comprised two rooms, with a double Roman tiled wing added later. A 19th-century staircase occupies the former cross passage, and it is likely the building was originally an open-hall house.

The south front is two storeys high with two windows. The ground floor has a four-light stone casement with ovolo mullions, a king mullion, and a hood mould on the left side. The first floor left side has a similar three-light casement. A central, gabled, 19th-century porch with a glazed door is located centrally, and the ground and first floors to the right have 19th-century two-light casements with hood moulds. The right-hand return shows a remaining hood mould from a former four-light window at ground floor level on the left, a central first-floor two-light casement with a stone ovolo mullion and hood mould, and a similar single light at attic level. An attached single-storey 19th-century wing has a door and glazing under the eaves. The left return is attached to a barn.

The rear of the building (facing the road) is unrendered and includes a blocked door to the right of the ridge stack. There is a small two-light casement on the ground floor, a 20th-century window, and a three-light wooden casement with a timber lintel. The first floor has a small two-light casement with a timber lintel, a small 20th-century window, a three-light 19th-century casement with a timber lintel, a small blocked light to the right, and a straight joint to the barn on the right. A single-storey wing to the left has two 20th-century two-light windows.

Inside, the front left room features fine plasterwork on the ceiling, with thin ribs, fleur-de-lys, and flowers. There is a carved wooden screen along the rear of the room, which likely extended further but was cut through when the passage was formed. The room to the right has narrow-chamfered beams. On the first floor, the door frames on the left side are ovolo-moulded and stop-chamfered.
