Description
The Maltings is a house dating from the early 18th century that has been altered and extended. It is constructed of pale red and vitreous header brick, featuring pale red brick window surrounds, a moulded plinth, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The roof is tiled with a central brick chimney. The building is L-shaped, with a rear wing added in the 18th or 19th century. It has two storeys and an attic, with two bays and a lobby entry.
On the ground floor, there are two cross casements in each bay, all with high transoms and irregular barred wooden and leaded lights. The first floor has similar windows, including one three-light window in each bay and a two-light window above the central door. The flush-panelled door is top-lit and set within a wooden architrave surround that features a pulvinated frieze and moulded cornice. A sun fire insurance plaque is positioned above the door. In the left gable, there is a paired leaded casement window in the attic, and the rear wing also contains leaded casements.
Inside, the building shows some timber framing in the rear wall, a stop-chamfered spine beam in the right room, 18th-century doors and dados, and a late 18th-century corner cupboard with shaped shelves in the left room.
