Description

The Malthouse is a farmhouse, now a detached house, dated 1698 on a datestone and altered and extended in the mid 19th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble stone with a Welsh slate roof featuring a coped verge on the left, a hip on the right, and brick stacks. The building has an L-plan layout and is two stories high with three windows.

The entrance features a six-panelled door set in a plain architrave, accompanied by a cast-iron tent porch to the left of center. To the left of the door is a 12-pane sash window, and to the right is a 19th-century canted bay with casements and a dentilled cornice. On the first floor, there are three sash windows, with the datestone displaying the initials TC and the year 1698 to the right. The right side of the building has 20th-century French windows and glazed doors, a margin-pane sash to the right, and three 12-pane sashes on the first floor, along with a small blocked light to the left.

At the rear, there is a late 19th-century covered passage with casements featuring arched lights, a sash window to the right, and three sashes on the first floor. The rear wing includes a planked door, sashes, and two aluminium windows on the first floor, with a garage from the 1980s attached to the left.

Inside, the property has chamfered beams with ogee stops on both the ground and first floors of the main range, a blocked open fireplace, planked doors, and 19th-century stairs with stick balusters. The roof is a four-bay structure from the 17th century, featuring tie-beam and collar trusses.
