5 bed house for sale High Street, Droxford, SO32

The Malt House has remained in the same ownership for more than 40 years and represents a charming and beautifully proportioned Grade II listed village house. Believed to date from the late 17th century, the property is timber-framed with brick elevations beneath a traditional tiled roof. The house retains a wealth of character features typical of its period and its historic use as a former malthouse. These include an attractive symmetrical façade, sash windows, open fireplaces, a generous cellar and numerous exposed beams throughout. Elements of the original brickwork from the former working areas remain visible, adding further historical interest.<br /><br />The ground floor is entered via a welcoming entrance hall which leads to a formal dining room on one side and a cosy sitting room with open fireplace on the other. A further reception room, currently used as a study, enjoys direct access to the garden. The traditional kitchen is well appointed and features an Aga, with a door leading through a covered archway to the garden and to the rear of the car port.
