The Old Malt House - Dating back to the 1750s, The Old Malt House is a beautifully presented period home with a fascinating heritage. The property carefully balances historic character with modern improvements. Many original features remain, including exposed floorboards and attractive tiled flooring, enhancing the home’s sense of charm and authenticity. In recent years, the current owners have invested in key upgrades such as new windows, an updated consumer unit, and have also created a thoughtfully designed annexe, which has been successfully used as a holiday let.

Accommodation - Extending to over 5,000 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, retaining many original features alongside a substantial annexe and extensive outbuildings, this is a house of genuine scale and versatility.

Meticulously and sympathetically enhanced by the current owners, the main house retains a wealth of original architectural detail, exposed timbers, quarry tiled floors, fireplaces and cellars, seamlessly blended with refined modern comforts. The heart of the home is a classic farmhouse kitchen centred around a traditional oil-fired AGA, complemented by a series of atmospheric reception rooms ideal for both family life and entertaining.

Two staircases lead to the first floor. The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned suite which includes fitted wardrobes, a fireplace, and an en suite with large shower, W.C., and basin, leading through to a dressing/vanity room (which could also serve as a private study area). The first floor is further supported by two elegant bedrooms and a spacious contemporary bath and shower room.

Attached to the house, The Coach House offers approximately 1,200 sq ft of high-quality, self-contained accommodation, successfully used as both a multigenerational annexe and lucrative holiday let. Beneath, a remarkable 1,150 sq ft games and leisure suite provides entertaining space of a calibre rarely found.

Gardens And Grounds - The gardens are a particular highlight with beautifully landscaped and sweeping lawns, specimen planting, ornamental pond, summer house and far-reaching views over the land. Beyond, purpose-built stables, substantial sandstone outbuildings and nearly six acres of grazing land with natural ponds make the property ideally suited to equestrian or smallholding interests.
