Malthouse Farm is a spacious family house occupying a commanding position in the North Wessex Downs, close to Newbury. The house bears all the hallmarks of a smart country house, with period detailing, and large Georgian sash windows filling the house with natural light and providing views out over the stunning rural scenery. Malthouse Farm extends to approaching 5,000 sq ft in the main house and of particular note is the 30' drawing room at the core of the house. The kitchen/breakfast room links to a large orangery style dining room which looks out over the gardens and longer views. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of bespoke cabinetry, a 4-door Aga range cooker, attractive limestone floor and full height windows looking out over the garden terrace and providing plenty of natural light. In addition there is also a cosy family sitting room with a wood burning stove, a generous study/playroom, and an office. An attractive Georgian style staircase rises to the first floor where a lovely light and spacious landing gives access to an impressive main bedroom suite, and four further bedrooms, all with their own en suite bathrooms.

The gardens and grounds at Malthouse Farm are fully mature and nestle the farmhouse well in its environment. Originally a farmhouse at the centre of a larger estate, the property sits prominently in the landscape with an enviable position on the edge of this popular village. Malthouse Farm has the feeling of an established farmhouse with a country vibe. There is a large and inviting south facing stone terrace at the rear of the property surrounded by mixed borders planted with shrubs and herbaceous plants providing seasonal interest throughout the year. There is also a hard tennis court which has a wonderful outlook over the pony paddocks which belong to Malthouse Farm. Malthouse Farm is well provided for with secondary accommodation and agricultural buildings. There is a smartly appointed two bedroom barn conversion known as Barn Cottage, which has been recently refurbished and benefits from an attractive period oak frame. There is also a studio flat within the same converted barn, and both properties have ample parking and do not impinge unnecessarily on the main house, offering scope to let the properties without impacting the enjoyment of Malthouse Farm. Within a range of former farm buildings is a smart indoor swimming pool, as well as a gym, garden store, garaging and dry storage. There is scope to utilise these buildings further, or reduce them in volume should they be superfluous to requirements. The land extends to approximately 35 acres in total. Approximately 20 acres of the land is agricultural pasture which is designated as downland, part of which has been planted up as a conservation meadow.
There is a permissive footpath which provides an alternative to the current footpath situated to the west of the house. This could be formalised subject to the usual consents.
Approximately 20 acres of the land is presently let on a farm licence.
