Description
The Gazebo at The Malthouse is an 18th-century picturesque structure with two storeys and a basement, built from rubble. It is one of three similar buildings in the town, but unlike the heavily renovated examples at Pen y Dre and Greenhill, this gazebo remains in its original form and is taller. It likely served as a lookout tower for the Bear Hotel to monitor the arrival of coaches. The building features a pyramidal stone-tiled roof with overhanging eaves, pointed openings with voussoirs, and windows on three sides, along with a boarded door on the southeast side. The upper floor is accessed by external rubble steps, and there are renewed copings on the garden walls. Above the boarded windows, there are timber panels with blind tracery in the Perpendicular style.
