The Property

No 3 Malthouse Farm Barns is understood to date back to the 18th century and is built of brick

cavity walls, under an interlocking tiled roof, with many timbers and exposed beams still remaining. In 2004 the barn was subject to a comprehensive renovation scheme with the addition of a new roof and many original walls being replaced with energy efficient cavity brick walls. More recently in 2015, the barn has been enhanced further with full redecoration throughout and the addition of a period style cart-lodge garage and stores. On entering, you are welcomed into the sitting room and immediately you will notice the space on offer throughout this airy accommodation. The sitting room has a wonderful vaulted ceiling with inset spotlights and this continues through to the adjacent open-plan kitchen/diner. The sitting room has tiled floors, with under floor heating and a new wood burning stove, perfect for cool winter evenings. The tiled floors and vaulted ceilings continue into the kitchen/diner, which is dual aspect and is ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is fully fitted with a range of wooden units and spaces for appliances below. Inset into the work surfaces is a stainless steel sink, four ring electric hob and an eye-level electric oven. The rear hallway provides access into all three double bedrooms and the two bathrooms. The three bedrooms all have vaulted ceilings, exposed stud work and the largest two have additional storage spaces to the eaves. The two bathrooms are both partially tiled with a low level wc, hand wash basin and panelled baths. Both rooms also function as wet-rooms with a wall mounted shower above a sloped tiled floor which flows into a central drain.
