Description
The Malthouse and Granary at Pentre'r Gof is a 17th-century farm building that features a malting floor with a granary above. It is constructed with timber framing set on low stone walls, with brick infilling that has replaced the original wattle and daub, and it has an irregular slate roof. The structure consists of three bays, with the framing comprising five panels high, a heavy bressumer, wide corner braces, and lattice bracing in the northern gable.
Access to the granary is via an external flight of six steps leading to a 17th-century moulded three-board door. The upper floor, which was originally the granary, is reached by these external steps on the northern gable. Inside, the upper floor features tie beam trusses with curved struts to the posts, and the roof has wind braces supporting the lower of two tiers of purlins. There is one internal partition on the upper floor, which was originally plastered.
The lower floor is slightly below ground level and has low headroom, with a mortar or lime-ash floor and plastered walls. The cross beams have curved angle struts to the posts. In the northwest corner, there is a deep lead-lined steeping vat that extends outside the walls, providing open access to the lower floor. This area is now enclosed within a brick lean-to farm building. On the southeast side, within a garage, remnants of a round brick kiln hearth can be found, built against the malthouse wall; this kiln was originally covered with a pitched roof that was perpendicular to the granary building.
