Description
The Old Malt House is a late 18th-century, two-storey brick building located on St Peter's Street. It features an incomplete string course at the first-floor level and dentilled brick eaves beneath a hipped old tile roof. The first floor has three four-light casement windows, each with narrow fixed sidelights that are one pane wide, framed in narrow panelled pilasters with a small cornice. The ground floor includes three three-light windows with narrow side panes and arched top panes set in segmental openings, along with a six-panel door positioned to the right of centre. This door is framed by an architrave and has a later plain flat porch hood supported by thin octagonal columns. The building presents an unusual and attractive front.
