Situated in a coveted location within a small hamlet on the fringes of this highly-regarded village, Maltings Farm is an attractive period house believed to have been built by the W H Smith & Sons, and cleverly blending the original Victorian fabric and architecture with stylish contemporary nuances and an almost ‘open plan’ feel - all of which enjoys a large degree of natural light with most rooms leading out to a wonderful walled courtyard garden.

The property extends to over 2,750ft2, with a versatile arrangement of living accommodation, particularly suitable for those seeking dual-occupancy or requiring space for home office or studio.

In brief, the accommodation comprises a large reception/entrance hall with lean-to boot room, a wonderful light sitting room with roof windows and French doors leading to the garden. Of equal proportion is the fabulous dining/family room with log-burning stove, French doors to the garden and further doors leading out to a decked veranda, affording views of open countryside beyond.

The kitchen/breakfast room is extensively fitted with a range of wall and base units under worktop with 2.5 stainless steel bowl sink inset. Integrated appliances include two undercounter fridges and an undercounter freezer, dishwasher and dual electric ovens with electric hob set into the chimney recess.
