Weymouth, Dorset

Towering above Hope Square and harbour-side cottages, Groves Malthouse is an iconic Grade II* Listed building, constructed by local architects, C R Crickmay & Sons, in the late 19th century for Groves Brewery. It sensitively preserves evidence of its former function as a brewery malthouse whilst benefitting from contemporary refurbishment into stylish apartments.

Displaying relics from its industrial past to include cast iron pillars and girders, exposed brickwork and bearing mounts exposed throughout, there is also a ‘museum’ occupying the entrance hall of the building where malt house equipment forms the centrepiece of a spacious room doubling as a meeting space and function room for the residents. Approached via a communal entrance hallway containing the ‘museum’ area with glass partitions; the hallway gives access to the staircase and lift up to the third floor where no.8 is located.

The apartment itself is a truly impressive space which has been creatively designed to consider its rich heritage and stunning original features. Many of the walls are composed of exposed brick and the ceilings retain their original character in the form of slim-line timber beams.
