Situated on the south bank of the Bridgewater Canal and built around 1860 the house is a fine early example of the Arts and Crafts Movement, an architectural style which is quintessentially English and of major importance to our heritage. William Morris was a major proponent of the Movement, which evolved between 1860 and 1910. Arts and Crafts buildings tend to have asymmetrical front elevations with windows playing a significant part in defining the 'look'. This is certainly true of 4 Maltmans Road, which we believe is one of only three such houses in the area. The extensions added in the 1920's and recently in 2005 complement the original building, which has been transformed into a stunning family home offering over 312 square metres (3360 square feet) of accommodation. There is gas central heating throughout the house and double glazing and under floor (hot water) heating in the recent extension. Floors and walls have been insulated throughout and the fundamentals of an eco-friendly grey water system are in place.
