Description
The Old Malt House and Vine Leigh House are two houses, with part of the structure believed to have been former maltings. Vine Leigh House, located on the right, is dated 1701 on a terracotta plaque and has been altered in the 19th century. The remaining part of the building dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with further alterations made in the early 20th century. The section from 1701 features chequer brick with gauged brick band courses at the first and second floor levels, a chamfered brick plinth, moulded wooden eaves, an old tile roof, and brick chimneys at the rear. It is two storeys tall with an attic and has late 19th-century fenestration that includes transomed three-light leaded windows, ornamental blind-boxes, and paired barred wooden casements in hipped eaves-line dormers. There are traces of four original bays with gauged heads over blocked windows, as well as a fire insurance plaque. A 20th-century door and doorcase are located in the right gable end, and there are outshots and 20th-century brick extensions at the rear.
The Old Malt House, on the left, is constructed of brick with dentil eaves, an old tile roof, and brick chimneys. It has an L-plan with a gabled wing projecting to the left and is two storeys tall, with a lower roofline than Vine Leigh House. The main wing features three 20th-century hipped semi-dormers with cross casements and an irregular ground floor that includes 20th-century transomed windows with three and four lights. The left ground floor window has a 20th-century sill and lintel, while the centre ground floor window retains an original segmental head, above which is a small blocked square opening. There is a late 18th-century two-panelled door with a leaded rectangular fanlight to the right, set in a 20th-century wooden doorcase with a wide cornice hood on fluted Doric pilasters. A canted dormer is located at the angle with the projecting wing, which has irregular leaded casements. The interior of the Old Malt House features an inserted floor and re-used timbers.
