The Old Malthouse

The Old Malthouse is a building dating from the 18th century or early 19th century, located on Fordington High Street. It features a chequer brick façade and a pitched slate roof, standing two storeys high with attics. The front has three ranges of segment-headed casements with glazing bars, along with two ranges of segment-headed blind panels. There is one flat-topped attic dormer with slate-hung cheeks and a casement with glazing bars. The building includes sliding doors, and the west elevation has two ranges of windows with glazing bars and a semi-circular blind panel above each. The central range features three planked doors stacked vertically, each with Portland ashlar lintels that have three-centred arches cut into their lower sides. There are remains of a winch-hoist and a semi-circular lunette above the doors. The north elevation displays four ranges of segment-headed casements with glazing bars, a fixed window with glazing bars in the centre of the first floor, and a segment-headed blind panel in the centre of the ground floor.
