The Malting House And Former Malting House And Single Storey Workshops Range To Rear

The Malting House, along with the former malting house and single storey workshops at the rear, is a house and malthouse located on the north side of High Street in Marshfield. It dates from the early to mid 19th century and is constructed of ashlar with a slate mansard roof featuring coped raised verges, a moulded coped parapet, and a moulded eaves cornice. The building has two storeys and attics in dormers, with a three-bay façade and rusticated end pilasters. There is a plain band above the ground floor and 16-pane glazing bar sash windows. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door beneath an overlight, framed by a doorcase with reeded pilasters and a flat stone hood.

To the rear, there is a former malting house built of coursed squared rubble, also with a slate roof and coped raised verges. This structure has two storeys and a basement, featuring five bays with two-light casement windows in freestone surrounds that have arched heads and lead cames. The first floor projects over an arcade at the south end. Across the yard, there is a range of single storey workshops that match the malting house, which includes four single light arched windows and three plank doors in plain surrounds.
