An important piece of Markyate history. The Old Malt House gained it's name from the occupation of an 18th Century owner; Mr Fullerton who was a local maltster. It was rescued by the current owner's father in the 1950's when it was sympathtically rebuilt, this Grade II Listed four bedroom detached home has been in the same family for over 70 years. Approximately 2100 sq. ft of accommodation including the self-contained annexe added in 1995.
This remarkable Grade II Listed home believed to originally date back to the 17th century is now looking for the next owners to take this important local property into it's next chapter. It has a host of wonderful character features including a feature inglenook fireplace in both the main reception room and the living room in the annexe part of the property. Doors and oak panels in the property where relocated from the American Embassy in the 1960's. There is also a beautiful solid oak wood floor in the main part of the home. Although some areas of the property will benefit from some sympathetic updating, the main house was partly refurbished approx five years ago, with the electrical system brought up to the latest standard requirements. The gas central heating was also refurbished at that time and extended, with the new boiler still under guarantee.
