Maltby’s Farm dates to the 17th century. The west range likely being the oldest part of the building. The east range may be contemporary with the west, or alternatively may have been constructed slightly later, but the form of the brickwork and timbers appears to be quite similar in the north elevation. The brick replacement to the ground floor corner of the house looks to be 19th century in date and resulted in the removal of the bottom half of the principal post. This phase of brickwork is also present in the west elevation and extends along the north bay, terminating at the modern front porch. Th west range roof shows at least three clear phases of timberwork. The main part of the roof structure is of hand-worked timbers with the rafters tenoned into staggered butt purlins, suggesting that these timbers are original. Many of the rafters and purlins exhibit carpenter’s assembly marks in Roman numerals (B2).


Maltby's Farmhouse, outhouses and cottage. The house is two-storeyed, irregular in plan, the earliest part of timber and brick probably of early C17th date, and has additions of late C17th and C18th brick. The roofs are tiled. The outhouses adjoining are wooden and have thatched roofs. The cottage, 50 yards North of the house is single-storeyed with an attic, with a little C17th timber-framing in the walls and in one gable, but otherwise completely rebuilt. The roof is tiled. Condition - Of the house and outhouses, poor; of the cottage, bad (B3).
