Occupying about 1.75 acres in the heart of Iron Acton, The Old Malthouse is a rare village-period home combining mid-17th century character with generous modern living space. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and vaulted trusses give the principal house a welcoming, historic feel, while the large kitchen/breakfast room and multiple reception rooms suit family living and entertaining. The grounds extend to formal lawns, a heated enclosed swimming pool and private woodland with paths — ideal for children and outdoor life.
Practical benefits include a detached, self-contained two-bedroom annex with its own oil-fired heating system, a triple-bay stone garage with adjoining workshop, and substantial parking off the gravel drive. Broadband and mobile signal are described as fast and excellent, supporting home working and modern connectivity. The property sits within the conservation area close to the village church and well-regarded primary schools.
Buyers should note this is a very old stone-built house (mid-1600s) and some traditional fabric is uninsulated (walls assumed without insulation). The main heating is oil-fired boiler and radiators; glazing is double but installation date is unknown. There are three bathrooms serving eight bedrooms and attic rooms, so additional upgrading or reconfiguration may be desirable for larger households. The frontage is onto the High Street with limited front garden and immediate roadside access.
The scale and mix of buildings offer clear potential: retain as a substantial single-family home with excellent ancillary accommodation, or explore subdivision/conversion subject to planning. Essential maintenance and energy-improvement works should be expected given the age and construction. For families seeking space, period character and privacy within a village setting, this property offers a distinctive and flexible long-term home.
