The Malthouse was originally built in 1571 as a working malthouse and granary. It is constructed of mellow red brick and panels of inset nap flint under a clay tiled roof. The present building has been very much altered and restored.
It has an impressive main entrance inset with herringbone brick and inlaid beams, and ornate carving on the upper eaves. Inside was an oak panelled hall and a superb galleried landing, and throughout the building were a multitude of exposed beams.
The Malthouse, described as such as late as 1897 in the Overseer’s Rates Book when Lambert Stubington was owner / occupier, used to supply malt to the local breweries and grain to Medmerry Mill. A maltman, Charles Clarke, is described as living in the High Street in the 1851 census.
The Old Malthouse has been owned by Nihal Samareskara since 2012 and was recently brought to market to facilitate his retirement. Following a confidential sales process managed by Charles Phillips of Christie & Co, the property has been acquired by Follett Homes Limited.
