Description
The Maltings is a maltings building dating from around 1860. It is constructed of red brick and features Welsh slate roofs, with six chimney pots evenly spaced along the northern ridge of its two ranges. The building is two storeys high.
The northwest front has four shuttered openings on the ground floor and five cross casement windows above. To the right, there is a single loading door accessed by an external flight of steps, along with a further blocked opening. To the left, there is a boarded opening and a blocked window beyond that. The northeast front has two gables, each with two openings on the upper floor.
On the southwest front, there is a projecting square barley sweating kiln to the left, which has a pyramidal hipped roof and a ventilator cap. Each exposed front has a single window, and the eaves are deeply dentilated. To the right, there are three shuttered openings and three cross casements above. There is also a slate-hung dormer and a similar vent over the malt dressing area. To the right, there is a later lean-to engine shed.
Inside, the maltings retains all its original features, including germinating floors, steeping tanks, storage bins, malt dressing areas, and two square kilns with their original hearths and perforated drying floors. The added kiln also keeps its original features.
