High Street, Droxford, Southampton, Hampshire

The Malt House has been in the same ownership
for over 40 years, and is a charming, well proportioned, Grade II listed house which is
understood to date back to the late 17th Century
and is timber framed with brick elevations under
a tiled roof.

The property has many features typical of a
house of this era and of its historical significance
as a Malthouse, including a symmetrical
frontage, sash windows, open fireplaces, a good
size cellar and a wealth of exposed beams. The original brick work of the working areas is still visible.

The accommodation is laid out over two floors.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming
entrance hall, on one side of which is a formal
dining room, and the other a cosy sitting room
with open fireplace. There is a further reception
room, currently used as the study which has
a door out into the garden. There is a lovely
traditional kitchen, complete with Aga and a
door leads out to a covered archway into the garden and to the rear of the car
port.

On the first floor there is an impressive drawing
room with beautiful light, thanks to three full
height sash windows. There are three double
bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a
further single bedroom and a lovely relaxing
garden room which has double doors out onto
a terrace.

To the front of the house is gravel parking area

terrace providing plenty of space for outdoor
