The Malthouse

The Malthouse is an early 19th-century maltings building located on St Andrew's Road in Montpelier, Bristol. It is constructed from pennant rubble with brick dressings and features a hipped pantile roof along with a slate pyramidal roof on the attached square oast house. The malthouse is an open plan rectangular structure with three storeys and an eleven-window range, while the oast house has two storeys and a three-window range. The west side includes small segmental-headed windows with relieving arches below, and there are two projecting hoist covers above doors on the east eaves and at the north end above a widened 20th-century opening.

Inside, the ground and first floors are supported by cast-iron columns with Romanesque capitals and round flanges that bear heavy floor beams. The roof is made of 20th-century timber, and there are few functional details remaining. The oast house features a first floor made of perforated clay tiles, which are related to the malting process.
