3 Bedroom Mid-Terraced House, Kiln Lane, Manningtree, CO11

Kiln Lane, Manningtree, CO11

Description

The Central Maltings in Manningtree, a Grade II listed building, stands as a remarkable testament to the region's industrial heritage and architectural conservation. Originally part of the extensive malting industry in the Stour Estuary, this site is linked historically to the broader industrial activities that peaked with the innovations of the malting company Free, Rodwell & Co during the 19th century. These activities placed Mistley and Manningtree as key malting centres in eastern England.

Converted into residential homes by Lexden Restoration and Development in 1997, the Central Maltings retains so much of its historic charm. This project was awarded the Tendring District Council Design Award in 2007 for Best Conservation and Restoration. The development successfully integrated many of the original architectural features, such as the three kilns transformed into three-storey living spaces, showcasing a blend of historical preservation with contemporary living.

The architectural significance of the Central Maltings compliments the town's historical landscape which is dotted with numerous 16th and 17th-century structures, demonstrating a rich tapestry of architectural styles and functions, from residential homes to public inns. The building features exposed red brick walls, arched windows, exposed timber framing and slate pitched roofs underscoring the craftsmanship and building techniques of the period. The solid oak beam that runs front to back of the ground floor at no. 6 is one single piece.

For those interested in the deeper history of Manningtree and its architectural and industrial significance, the Central Maltings serves as a prime example of successful heritage conservation, blending the old with the new to create a unique and highly sought after residential experience. This site not only reflects the town's historical economic activities but also its ongoing commitment to preserving its past.
