Malt House

The building is a house, dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, possibly originally an iron master's house. It was refaced in the early 19th century when it was converted into cottages, with 20th-century wings added to the northwest and northeast, and other 20th-century alterations made. The exterior is constructed of coursed stone rubble with red brick window dressings. It has a renewed tiled roof, a central panelled brick chimney stack, and an external brick stack to the southwest. The house has two storeys and attics, with two hipped dormers. There are six windows to the first floor and five to the ground floor, all with casements and leaded lights, and cambered architraves on the ground floor. A patch of 17th-century brickwork is visible under the chimney. A Dutch door is located on the right-hand side. The northeast elevation is tile-hung and a large 20th-century extension to the northwest is constructed of sandstone with brick dressings and wooden casement windows, considered to be of no particular interest.

The lounge features a large open brick fireplace with a moulded wooden bressummer and a cambered opening to a beehive-shaped bread oven. To the right of the fireplace is a wooden spice cupboard with incised lozenge decoration and cocks head hinges. Another fireplace, apparently in an early 17th-century style with a four-centred arched stone surround, has likely been brought in, along with a bread oven dating from when the house was subdivided. The dining room, formerly a parlour, contains a late 16th or early 17th-century four-centred arched brick fireplace with stone quoins, a chamfered spine beam with lambs tongue stops, and chamfered floor joists. The northeast wall in this room has an original wooden door frame, also chamfered with a high stop. A first-floor principal bedroom, located above the original parlour, has a late 16th to early 17th-century four-centred arched brick fireplace with a straight chamfer and high stop. The roof is a queen post roof, with exposed framing and a midrail. The house contains 19th-century plank doors. Some of the framing is staggered and includes 20th-century non-structural curved braces used for decorative purposes. Elsewhere in the house are sections of imported twisted balusters and early 17th-century carved panels, which may be from a carved overmantel.

In a separate, earlier description, the building was noted as once being three cottages attached to a malthouse, now converted into a single house. It is described as a 17th-century building that has been restored and enlarged and features casement windows, a tiled roof with a pentice to the east, and a modern extension to the north.
