Set in the attractive Piddle Valley, 1 Old Malt House is a thoughtfully renovated three-bedroom link-detached home that blends period character with modern comforts. Exposed beams, elm flooring and a broad chimney breast with a wood-burning stove give the sitting room a warm, cottage feel, while a spacious triple-aspect kitchen/dining room and French doors create an easy flow to the garden — ideal for family life and entertaining.
Upstairs offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. The property includes a paved patio, lawn, garden shed and a detached outside office, providing practical ancillaries for home-working or storage. Off-street parking is available directly outside and the house sits on a decent plot within a quiet, no-through lane.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the property lies in a medium flood-risk zone. The house falls within a conservation area and shares a vehicular/pedestrian access across neighbouring land; informal, ad hoc contributions towards driveway upkeep have been made by the current owners. Council tax sits above average.
This home will suit buyers seeking character, space and a peaceful village lifestyle — especially families attracted to nearby primary schools, local pubs and extensive countryside walks. It has been newly renovated but retains scope for further sympathetic updating where desired. Buyers should be comfortable with oil heating, the conservation-area restrictions and the local flood risk when considering the purchase.
