The Malthouse

The Malthouse is a building that consists of two houses, now functioning as a hostel, dating from the 16th century to early 17th century, with an earlier 18th-century front. The right side features an earlier 18th-century facade made of squared rubble stone with ashlar dressings and a stone tile roof. It is two stories tall and double fronted, with flush quoins, a raised plinth band, and a coved eaves cornice. There are two windows on each floor, which are 12-pane thick glazing bar sashes set in moulded architraves. The central door is also in a moulded architrave, topped with a pediment on brackets. The rear includes a timber-framed and plastered wing that jetties at the first floor and has a double gable above, with a small moulded single light on the left end of the south wall and renewed gable end windows.

The left side of the building is made of early 17th-century rubble stone with a stone tiled roof, featuring small stacks at both the north and south ends. It is two-and-a-half stories high, with a large gable on the left. The front has cyma-moulded mullion windows of 18th-century style, including two-light windows with a hoodmould in the attic, two 2-light windows under a single dripstone on the first floor, and one 2-light window to the right of the gabled section. The ground floor is symmetrical, with three-light windows on each side of the door, which is set in a flush moulded doorcase with an open pediment on brackets above. A continuous dripmould runs across the front, interrupted only for the pediment. At the north end, there is a chimney gable that reveals an exposed tie-beam, collar truss, and wall posts below.

At the rear, there is a one-story and basement range featuring a 20th-century door and bead-moulded windows, which may have been converted from a malthouse. Additionally, there is a 19th-century open three-bay cartshed with brick piers and a rubble stone barn that has a saddlestone and finial at the east end, along with a cart entrance on the north side and upper windows on each side. The interior has been obscured by subdivision.
