Property description

A substantial detached character residence offering ample accommodation, situated upon a mature plot of around .4 of an acre with a wide frontage to the High Street in the central part of the village. The Maltings & Maltings Cottage consist of a large double bay fronted Victorian addition to the Grade 2 listed original cottage which dates to around the mid 1700’s – the two parts can be lived in as one 4 - 6 bedroom family house, or, possibly, could be used as two independent self contained living accommodations. The property offers a considerable amount of potential for future enlargement (subject to Local Authority consent) as there is a very large integral two storey outbuilding which could be the ideal basis for conversion into additional accommodation. There is a sizeable mature garden, ample parking and garaging together with a detached brick outbuilding (29’6’’x7’8’’) which provides useful storage/ workshop space (with 3 phase electrical supply) which is in addition to the original maltings lean-to building (28’7’’x 12’6’’) at the back of the house. Great Barford village contains several amenities that include a shop/post office, Lower and Middle schools, pubs/ restaurants, a doctor’s surgery and the ancient river bridge next to the church in the central, picturesque, conservation area.
