The site consists of buildings on the western part of the site with a large area of undeveloped land forming the eastern part of the site. It has two main buildings. The northern building is brick with some substantial ‘concrete’ additions especially in the north west corner and formed the main malthouse building. This is separated from the southern building by a stream which splits the site in two. The southern building is a former silk mill and runs parallel with Pirnhow Street to the south. This building was substantially damaged by a fire during the late 1990’s. Much of the roof of this building is now missing. To the east of the silk mill building is a small complex of silos and tanks. In addition, there is one existing (disused) dwelling between the silk mill building and Pirnhow Street. Access to the application site has historically been at two points, firstly off Ditchingham Dam, between the A143 roundabout and humpbacked bridge and secondly off Pirnhow Street, some 180 metres to the east of the junction of Pirnhow Street and Ditchingham Dam.
