4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious historic family home with annexe and large plot near transport links.
Grade II listed 17th‑century detached house with strong period character
An important piece of Markyate history, The Old Malt House is a Grade II listed 17th‑century detached home with generous rooms and original character throughout. The main house offers solid oak floors, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and panelled doors salvaged from the American Embassy, creating a striking period interior for family living.
The property includes a self‑contained one‑bed annexe (added 1995), a detached garage, cellar and a large plot — useful for extended family use, occasional rental income or flexible home working. The main house was partly renovated about five years ago: the electrical system was upgraded and the gas central heating refurbished and extended, with the boiler still under guarantee.
Although the house has been sympathetically restored in parts and is newly renovated overall, some areas will benefit from further sympathetic updating and ongoing listed‑building maintenance. The Grade II status means alterations will require listed‑building consent and may limit changes to historic fabric. Buyers should factor in conservation requirements and the costs of future works.
Located on Markyate High Street, the home sits close to strong transport links (M1 J9, Harpenden rail services, Luton Airport) and good local schools, while enjoying village amenities and a very affluent nearby area. This sizeable, characterful house will suit families seeking a distinctive period home with annexe flexibility, or buyers prepared to manage listed‑building stewardship.
