Malt House Farmhouse

The farmhouse was built in 1837 and offers accommodation arranged over two floors. The property is in need of improvement and modernisation throughout, but would provide excellent family accommodation once complete. To the ground floor there is a large kitchen/breakfast room with a quarry floor and an Aga. Off the kitchen are several utility and storage rooms. The two principal reception rooms lie to the front of the property and are both of excellent proportions with open fireplaces and windows to the front.

An oak staircase rises to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is accessed from the staircase off the kitchen. In addition, there is an attic room which, subject to the necessary planning consents, could be converted into further accommodation.

Outbuildings

Just to the rear of Malt House Farmhouse is a traditional red brick barn measuring approximately 80 feet long by 21 feet wide. This barn has detailed planning permission for use as a live/work unit. It retains some of its original features and would make for a delightful conversion.
