Description

The building known as the Maltings in Seawynd, Aberlady, dates from the late 18th to early 19th century and was originally a granary. It is a three-storey structure with seven bays, constructed of random rubble with droved ashlar dressings.

On the east elevation, there is a former door that has been converted into a tall window at the ground floor on the outer right, and a door located in the third bay to the right. The building features small, almost square windows on all floors, with larger windows in the outer bay on the left and the third bay on the left. There are former hoist doorways at the second floor that break the eaves, topped with wooden dormerheads. Additionally, three small rooflights are positioned close to the eaves.

The north elevation includes two arched window openings that were once cart entrances, now with masonry blocking the lower sections. Late 20th-century timber balconies front sliding windows at the first and second floors, with dormers at the second floor.

The west elevation has irregular fenestration, primarily consisting of small square windows, and features five unevenly spaced red-tiled dormers.

On the south elevation, there is a door located to the right.

Inside, the building has been altered to create flatted accommodation around 1996. It features timber tilt-and-turn windows and timber boarded doors. The roof is pitched, gabled to the north and piended to the south, covered with renewed red pantiles, and has straight stone skews on the north side.
