Description - This distinctive period home offers a secluded rural retreat close to the renowned and highly sought-after village of Castle Combe. Grade II Listed, The Maltings has a fascinating history, originally constructed in the 19th century as a malthouse before being converted into a congregational chapel in 1914. More recently, the building has been thoughtfully and sympathetically converted into a residential home, retaining much of its original character including sash windows and exposed oak beams. The accommodation has been finished to a superb specification and benefits from underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.
Deceptively spacious, the property extends to approximately 1,700 sq. ft. arranged over two floors. The ground floor is largely open plan, incorporating a light and airy reception room and beautiful kitchen with a generous breakfast bar and integrated appliances. To the side, there is an additional reception room or study, a WC, as well as a ground floor bedroom with an en-suite shower room. Upstairs, there are more character beams in two good-sized bedrooms, including one en-suite. There is also a well-presented family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
Outside, a gravel driveway provides parking for two cars, while a lawned garden with patio area offers a private space to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
