Former Maltster's Arms Public House and adjoining brewer's house

A public house and adjoining brewer's house, dating from the early to mid-19th century, located in Harbertonford. Part of the public house has been converted into a separate house, while the former brewer’s house, Bridge House and Harbourne House, now serves as the village shop and Post Office.

The building is constructed of slate rubble with some other local stone rubble, featuring a low-pitched asbestos slate hipped roof with deep eaves. Bridge House and Harbourne House have brackets to the eaves soffit, and brick chimney stacks are present, some rendered.

The original plan comprised a two-room public house with a central lobby entrance, altered over time with the addition of a long rear wing. Bridge House adjoins to the right, splayed back, with Harbourne House set at a right angle to the rear, creating an overall U-shaped plan.

The former Maltsters Arms Public House presents a near-symmetrical three-bay facade. It has 16-pane sashes on the left-hand side, with the left-hand ground floor window having a flat red brick arch and the left-hand first floor window a timber lintel. The centre ground floor features a wide doorway with stuccoed flanking pilasters and an elliptical arch topped with a panel within a moulded frame, formerly displaying the public house name; this doorway is now half-blocked. The first floor has a 12-pane sash with a flat slate arch.

Bridge House to the right has a two-window range, with a splayed rear section and 12-pane sashes. The ground floor includes a fixed-light 16-pane window with an elliptical dressed stone arch. A wide doorway with a flat red brick arch leads to a C20 glazed door with side lights. The right-hand return of Bridge House and Harbourne House displays a five-window range. Bridge House has two windows with 12-pane sashes, and a canted bay window on the ground floor. Harbourne House, with three windows to the right, contains C20 pivot windows. A central doorway has an elliptical arch with a fanlight featuring gothick glazing bars, leading to a glazed and panelled door and a later glazed gable porch. Further right is a C20 eight-pane shop window.
