The Blue Ball Public House And Attached Outbuildings At Rear

The Blue Ball Public House, originally a house dating from around 1700, has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The front is finished in painted render, with brick stacks located at the right end and the center of the pantile roof. The building is two stories high and has a four-window front. To the left of the center, there is a door with six sunk panels. A single-light window at the center right may have been enlarged for a fire window. The other windows consist of two or three lights and are either large-pane sliding sashes or square-latticed with top-hung lights. All windows feature painted sills and 20th-century louvred shutters. At the rear, there are one- and two-storey ranges of stables and outbuildings, constructed from coursed stone and brick with pantile roofs. The fenestration is irregular, featuring pairs of double doors, stable doors, and windows. Above these, there is a single small window and a loft door, while the south-east rear gable wall includes an upper loft door. This establishment has the most complete inn yard still in existence in Malton.
