Description

The Malt House is a substantial and attractive Grade II listed period manor farmhouse situated on a no-through lane. The house sits in the conservation area of Long Hanborough, a most sought-after West Oxfordshire village. With origins dating mainly to the 16th and 17th centuries, the property retains a wealth of period features and has been immaculately refurbished and extended by the current owners, and offers versatile and impressive family living spaces.

Of note is the open plan principal bedroom suite, double aspect drawing room, and large vaulted kitchen/breakfast/sitting room, leading to a wonderful dining terrace. There is an outdoor pool with sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi, and a games room, itself offering potential use as an annexe subject to the necessary consents. Approached through electric gates, The Malt House sits centrally on its large plot extending to about 1.75 acres including terraced areas, lawns, and a small paddock.
