Description

The former malthouse at The Herbert Arms is a two-storey building constructed from coursed stone rubble with a corrugated sheet roof. It has planked doors, and most windows are timber frames set in stone openings. The building has a short L-plan, with the main range oriented north-south and a kiln wing attached to the southeast corner.

Access to the ground and first floors is provided by two doorways located in the northeast corner of the main range. The ground floor door features a small flanking window, and both have large stone lintels. There is a similar door and window at the southeast corner, which leads to the ground floor of the kiln wing. The north elevation includes a single window in the gable, while the west elevation has three windows, with only the outer windows on the ground floor. The south elevation features one window in the gabled section and another ground floor window to the right side. The east elevation of the kiln wing has two windows on the first floor, with the left window retaining a mullion and the right window being smaller and positioned higher.

The ground floor of the malthouse has been converted into a changing room. The kiln remains intact in the side wing, featuring a small ante room and the main kiln, which retains its brick vaulting and fire base. The first floor of the malthouse is a single open space with exposed twin king-post roof trusses and a timber frame partition separating it from the kiln. Fragments of the drying floor are still visible in the side walls above the kiln.
