Malmsmead Malmsmead West

Malmsmead and Malmsmead West is a pair of houses that were originally one cottage. The building features a lower L-plan core with a 17th-century bay to the west, which has been rebuilt in flint and brick in the 19th century, and an early 18th-century chequer brick range to the east. There is a 19th-century flint and brick extension at the end of the west bay and a brick extension from around 1930 at the north end of the east range. The roofs are hipped, mostly retiled in the 20th century, while the 19th-century west extension retains old tiles. The older part of the building has one storey and an attic. The east range features old leaded casements, while the west bay has wooden casements and irregular dormers. The west bay has flanking board doors to the south, with the right door leading into a 20th-century gabled porch. Entry to the east range is through the 20th-century extension. At the end of this extension is a two-storey 19th-century block, which is pebbledashed at the front and has two paired barred wooden casements on the first floor, a four-pane sash window to the right on the ground floor, and a flush-panelled door to the left. Inside, some timber framing is visible, and the main room in the east wing features a stop-chamfered spine beam.
