Little Malt House

Little Malt House forms the central section of the former mansion, occupying the central and right-hand bay of the 3-window main range, which is 2 storeyed with attic. Rubble walls, colour-washed to main front, with steep pitched slate roofs, with axial stacks to centre and right. Central entrance flanked by small-paned sash windows, with similar windows to first floor, and two dormer windows in gables with decorative bargeboards. Left hand bay is part of The Malt House.

Interior much rebuilt after fire damage but retains roof and other structural timbers which probably belong to the original C16 house. At ground floor level there is a remnant of a Georgian wattle partition and attached to this there is a surviving fragment of wooden screen. Slots in the beam above reveal that at one time this extended across the width of the ground floor and that its origin would have been as part of a wooden screen to the cross passage. On the ground floor there is also a broad segmental arch with capitals towards the rear of the cross passage.
