background
Elspeth Beard Architects - Malt House
The Malt House is an abandoned agricultural stone building. It is not listed but is estimated to have been built in the late eighteenth century. It is thought that the presence of a private dog-leg in the River Wey leading up to the building would indicate that barley would have been delivered by barge to the western end of the building for processing. More recently, the building was used for storage of classic cars during World War II and has since been largely unused. The conversion of this building saved a redundant building from neglect and secured its future survival and protection.
Malt House - before refurbrishment
Internal alterations provide some lightweight partition walls, new stairs and three new windows with brick dressings on the north and west elevations. These give light to a bedroom, stair and larder. The majority of the building would remain open-plan lit by conservation roof-lights in existing openings. The most significant alteration is a large sliding picture window on the south elevation, off the living area.
