Property description
The Malting is an excellent detached family home, built about 40 years ago and set above the road on a plot which measures approximately 1/3rd of an acre, situated in a country lane within the little hamlet of Haviker Street. The versatile accommodation has three bedrooms on the first floor plus an ensuite bathroom, the 4th bedroom is on the ground floor with a nearby shower room and therefore has a potential as an annexe. A prime feature is the good size fitted kitchen and the delightful L-shaped sitting room with a dining area plus a conservatory to enjoy views over the beautifully landscaped garden. Outside are two detached garages and ample parking for visitors.
DESCRIPTION
The Malting is a comfortable detached family home occupying a large plot in a semi-rural location. The versatile layout takes full advantage of the southerly aspect to the rear and overlooks the mature landscaped garden. The ground floor accommodation comprises: entrance porch, entrance hall, study/bedroom 4, shower room, large kitchen, sitting room with dining area and conservatory. To the first floor are three good size bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom. Outside are two garages, one of which could perhaps convert to an office or a gym. The paved terrace is perfectly placed for 'al fresco' dining in summer months and makes an ideal position to appreciate the garden. In front of The Malting is a stream and as we understand from the vendor the stream did not cause concern during in the winter of 2013/14.
