Description
The Old Malthouse and attached outbuildings is a detached house and outbuildings dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared rubble stone with alternating flush quoins, topped by a stone slate roof. The building features a stone end stack on the left, a ridge stack with an offset and brick flue, and a brick rear lateral stack.
The structure has a single front range with a rear outshut, standing two storeys tall with an attic. It has four windows, which are 2-light stone mullions with transoms and plain metal casements. The ground floor has similar windows at the far left and right, while the second bay from the left contains a recessed six-panel door with bolection moulded panels, two of which are glazed. This door is set in a chamfered stone surround with a flat moulded stone hood supported by curved wooden brackets. To the right of the door is a 3-light wood mullion and transom window. A plat band runs above the ground floor.
The attic features a single small gabled dormer with a boarded gable and 6-pane casements, positioned centrally between the stacks. There is also a leaded 2-light stone mullion window in the attic on the left-hand return, a blind square attic panel on the right-hand return, and a 2-light wood mullion and transom window on the first floor.
To the left, there is a single-storey former animal shelter made of rubble stone, consisting of four bays. This shelter is set back and features chamfered square stone pillars, with the left end bay filled in with doors and the third bay having double doors at the rear. The rear wing at the left end extends back and has scattered triangular vents. While the facade appears to be of one build, the pattern of the fenestration suggests that it may have been constructed in stages.
