The Malthouse

The Malthouse is a detached house dating from the late 18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is constructed of dressed uncoursed limestone, with tiled or Welsh slate roofs and brick stacks. The building follows a T-shaped plan. The main front has two storeys and a three-window facade. The ground floor originally contained a blocked doorway, now with two 3-light casement windows, and one 2-light casement. The first floor has a 3-light, a 2-light, and a 3-light casement window, with a central stone tablet inscribed "JH/1795". A projecting wing to the right has a 20th-century glazed door and two 2-light leaded casements to both the ground and first floors, topped with a hipped roof. The gable front of this wing features a 2-light leaded casement. The left return side has French windows. An early 19th-century wing is attached to the rear and has a hipped slate roof. A north range, L-shaped, connects to the right return of the front range, and incorporates two 20th-century planked doors, 2-light casements, and a 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned window on the first floor, under an early 19th-century hipped slate roof with raised eaves. A right wing includes 20th-century garage doors and 2-light casements. The rear elevation features 2-light casements, 20th-century doors, and a 4-light mullioned window.

The interior contains an inglenook fireplace with a cambered lintel on chamfered stone jambs, chamfered beams with run-out stops and 4-panelled doors. The building was formerly a public house, known as The Hole in the Wall, with a malthouse in the north wing, until the early 20th century.
