History: The house was built c1830 as part of a maltings associated with the Montgomeryshire Canal: in 1845, the buildings at the site comprised house, engine house, and drying kilns. The maltings buildings adjoining the house were later used as warehousing.

A well-preserved early C19 house with its associated outbuildings, which as a former maltings complex, is significant as an example of canal-side industry.
