Property description

To visit Maltkiln Cottage is to uncover a secret. The modest front of this former foreman's Grade II Listed cottage masks a timeless mixture of rustic brickwork, wood burning stoves and traditional gardens bounded by a picturesque stream. In addition to the three principal bedrooms there are a further two potential bedrooms on the ground floor together with the possibility to form an independent annex if required.

The accommodation unfolds into distinct areas: the traditionally styled kitchen with Rayburn and adjoining day room is the undoubted heart – ideal for relaxed socialising, an additional sitting room could easily be utilised as a bedroom if required and the rear facing dining room which opens to the terrace leads to the principal lounge with recently installed wood burning stove.

The potential annex is accessed via an internal hallway which opens to a further two generous rooms, one of which is currently used as a study together with a cloakroom.

The accommodation is completed by the first floor where a return staircase leads to three good sized bedrooms and a traditionally appointed family bathroom with both bath and separate shower. 

Maltkiln Cottage is however defined by the relationship of its accommodation to its beautiful grounds: the principal reception rooms open to a terrace which links external and internal spaces. Designed to enhance the traditional style the grounds feature broad lawns with inset shrub and bulb borders and are softened by the lined stream which runs across the rear. Truly a garden for all seasons. A timber stable and gated reception area complete the property.
