Summary - The Malt House, 27 Hill Village Road, Four Oaks, B74 B75 5BQ
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious Grade II listed family home with large gardens and lots of period charm.
Grade II listed period house with 17th-century origins and strong character features
The Malt House is a substantial Grade II listed family house near Mere Green, offering considerable period character and a large, private westerly garden. Prominent original features include exposed sandstone gables, stone-flagged entrance hall, inglenook fireplaces and timber beams; generous reception space and a 20ft conservatory provide garden-facing living and entertaining areas. The layout includes a large kitchen/breakfast room with pantry and five bedrooms, with potential to create a large principal suite from two interconnecting rooms.
This property will suit a buyer looking for character, space and scope to modernise rather than a turnkey home. The house has mains gas heating, double glazing (unknown fit date) and a detached two-car garage, but as a listed building any alterations, extensions or modernisation will require listed-building consent and could be more costly and time-consuming than for a non-listed house. The property currently has a single main bathroom and one cloakroom for five bedrooms, which may be inconvenient for larger families without alteration.
Practical considerations are candidly present: the home sits in an area with higher local crime and wider area deprivation metrics, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction, so buyers should budget for improvement works (insulation, energy efficiency upgrades) within the constraints of its listed status. On the positive side the location is highly convenient — excellent mobile and broadband, nearby schools (including several Ofsted-rated Good/Outstanding), public transport and Mere Green amenities are all within walking distance.
