4 bedroom cottage for sale

This Grade II listed home adjoins Manor Farmhouse and is part of a charming courtyard development filled with similarly characterful residences. Rich in historical features, the property boasts oak beams, distinctive fireplaces, quarry-tiled floors, and two original malt ovens. Notably, The Malt House is believed to be the only property in Staffordshire with two original malt ovens, making these a truly unique highlight.

At the heart of the home is the oak-framed breakfast kitchen, illuminated by a striking glazed lantern roof light and finished with slate flooring. Upon entering, a welcoming beamed reception hall with a storm canopy, quarry-tiled floors, traditional staircase, and guest cloakroom greets you. The main living room, with a front-facing window, features a beautiful brick fireplace with a gas stove and a stunning beamed ceiling. Two brick arches lead to the malt oven, which includes a window overlooking the rear garden. The spacious dining room, also front-facing, showcases oak flooring, a beamed ceiling, and a brick fireplace with an electric stove. The kitchen connects to the second malt oven, which features a central fireplace and ample storage. It also provides access to the courtyard garden and an additional sitting room, which also opens to the garden. This space, along with a double bedroom and en-suite shower room above, once formed an annex to the main house and could easily be re-established. The bedroom offers a unique round window, built-in wardrobes, and a cupboard housing the Worcester gas-fired boiler. The en-suite includes a shower, WC, washbasin, and partial tiling.

The main first-floor landing, with a front-facing window offering countryside views, leads to two principal double bedrooms, each with a luxurious en-suite bathroom. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and built-in furniture, with an en-suite that includes Karndean flooring, partial tiling, a roll-top clawfoot bath, WC, washbasin, and bidet.

The second-floor landing provides built-in storage and leads to a bedroom suite complete with Velux skylights, built-in furniture, eaves storage, and an en-suite shower room.

Outside, the rear of the property offers private parking for two cars. The delightful enclosed garden features a lawn, well-stocked shrubbery, planted borders, pathways, a pergola, patio seating area, outside lighting, and a water tap. At the front, decorative railings and a feature well add charm, along with a pathway and shared access to the main entrance.
