The Old Malt House seamlessly blends period character and modern living. Initially built in the 17th Century and constructed of Cotswold stone under a tiled roof, the property is listed as Grade II and combines many features whilst sympathetically refurbished to an incredibly high standard.

This charming family house has well-proportioned reception rooms with generous ceiling heights and a striking open-plan kitchen breakfast room. Many original features include an inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and oak floorboards. The flow of the downstairs accommodation has been vastly improved with the recent extension creating a wonderful
family area and entertaining space. The crittall glass extension allows plenty of natural light and delightful views over the garden.

Upstairs the accommodation is spread over two floors and is light and bright with four bedrooms and two state-of-the-art bath and shower rooms. The attention to detail and quality of finish is evident throughout the property, yet all the period features have been skilfully incorporated.

Outside is an enclosed garden to the front and rear with a convenient home office and garden store that could be an annexe subject to the usual planning consent. The garden is well stocked and links well with the gravel sun terrace. There is parking for three cars outside the gate to the property.
