The Malt House

The Malt House is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, located on the south side of The Street in Wilsford. It features a timber frame with brick noggings and a thatched roof. The building is single storey with an attic, but the center section is raised to two storeys. It has a 'U'-shaped plan, consisting of a two-bay center block with a lobby entrance in the left bay, which is adjacent to a large double stack that occupies the entire bay. There are two two-storey framed wings at both ends; the west wing was added later, and a second parallel wing was added at the east end in the late 18th to early 19th century, which includes a two-storey bow window at the rear.

The house features a six-panelled door, jowled posts, and clasped purlin roofs, with the framing consisting of three panels high with corner braces. The right bay of the center section has raking rafters integrated into the raising of the walls. Inside, there are some fielded and panelled 18th-century doors in the lobby. The central stack is made of two conjoined builds, one of which is stone. The left wing contains two parlours with chamfered ceiling beams, a stone chamfered fireplace in the gable of the front parlour, a timber lintel over the rear fireplace in the main stack, and an 18th-century corner cupboard. The right wing includes service rooms, while the added wing features an early 19th-century fireplace in the Egyptian style.
