The Old Malt House, Exton

The Old Malt House is a detached period property dating from the 1800s, once the stables and outbuildings to the old village Inn. Sympathetically converted in the 1990s and recently renovated, it retains original features including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and a working hand pump for the well beneath the kitchen floor, combined with modern comforts throughout. Sleeping up to four guests, the property has one double bedroom with a king-sized bed and one twin bedroom, plus a ground floor bathroom with shower over the bath. The accommodation is all on one level, though the front entrance is via an uneven cobbled courtyard and there are steps to reach the garden, making it unsuitable for those with restricted mobility. The front door opens into an open-plan living area with ample seating, a 50" smart TV, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, dining area and a well-equipped, recently renovated kitchen including electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, washing machine, slimline dishwasher and coffee machine. A few steps lead up to a games room with vaulted ceiling, table-tennis table, board games, books and DVDs, and from there external steps lead up to the garden. The private, enclosed south-west facing garden is elevated with lovely countryside views and enjoys all-day sun, furnished with a table and chairs for four and Adirondack chairs for relaxing. Electricity and heating are included, with modern smart electric radiators and a wood burner supplied with a starter basket of logs. The property has ultrafast fibre broadband, though wifi is limited in the bedrooms and bathroom, and mobile signal is largely unavailable (wifi calling works). Mains water ensures strong water pressure for showers. Bed linen and towels are provided. Off-road parking is available for one car on the shared drive, with a second car able to park on the quiet lane outside.
