The Malt House

Castle Coch, Exmoor House, and The Malt House, form an unusual terrace with consistent later C19 detail with a slight Arts and Crafts tinge, i.e. in the use of small red clay tiles and vernacular casement windows. It may be an alteration of c1880 of an earlier range.

Terraced house, perhaps originally two 2-window houses and one single bay house, original division unclear. Whitewashed roughcast with red pantiles to roof and crested ridge tiles. Red tiled pentice roof over ground floor continuous projection. Three red brick stacks, that to left shared with Exmoor House, the other 2 on ridge. Two storeys. Five upper casement pairs just breaking eaves with catslide roofs. Ground floor projects with tiled roof. First section to left has French window and then slightly projected 4-light window with long lights Next a long 6-bay timber-framed passage porch coming out to pavement line, with plain tiles and crested ridge tiles. Gable with open single-bay sides and diagonally-boarded door within, then 5-bay enclosed sides with shouldered-headed light. After porch, a single light window closely right, then final section with 4-light window with long lights, slightly projected. N end has first floor casement pair and slit window in gable. Extensive rear additions.

Interior not available for inspection at time of resurvey (December 1999)
