8 bedroom terraced house

The Malting House is a fine, Grade II listed, early 19th century home in a prime position on Marshfield High Street. It's a property of note that has been recently refurbished and renovated to create a generous family home as well as a self-contained top floor annexe.

Inside, a welcoming entrance hall has a staircase up and a doorway into the inner hall to the ground floor accommodation. Here, the drawing room and dining rooms are at the front of the house, both have high ceilings, wooden floorboards, fireplaces and large, 16-panel windows. These rooms are packed with period details: intricate coving, cornicing and arched alcoves.

Along the inner hall is a guest bedroom suite, a WC, a playroom with views to the garden and a practical utility that leads into the open plan kitchen/dining room. Here, The Malting House origins are obvious - a central stone brick 'oven' and arched ceilings separate the two living spaces, creating a good spot for a study/work area. There's heating under the flagstone floors that flow through to the well-equipped kitchen and a barn-style door out to the walled, courtyard garden.

Stairs up from the kitchen lead to the first floor and an extensive landing, currently used as a sitting room. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom, plus a principal bedroom suite with a generous dressing room and idyllic rural views. Each of the bedrooms on this floor are exceptional: two have A-frame vaulted ceilings with wooden beams and skylights; one is a 'bunk-bed' room with no less than four double bunkbeds.

The second floor can be accessed from the first floor landing and via a staircase from the front hall; it can be closed off to create a separate annexe if required. There are two bedrooms, one bedroom suite, a bathroom, sitting room and kitchen/dining room - the whole floor has been totally refurbished with modern fixtures and fittings.

An attractive, walled courtyard garden offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and relaxing, with sheltered areas for a garden kitchen. It's completely enclosed, creating a safe space for children and animals. The whole of this external space has been renovated with new drainage and paving and the walls have been repointed.

At the rear of the property is parking for at least four cars on a gravel drive with power for an electric charger and a water supply.
