This former malt house forms part of a group of architecturally and historically important distillery buildings. Though now altered, and in commercial use, the building has retained much of its original fabric, which adds to its architectural appeal. The limestone walls, contrasting with the yellow brick, adds colour and textural variation to the structure. The spocketed eaves and clock are noteworthy features, enlivening the upper portion of the building.
