Delightful and deceptively spacious period house.
Description
Malting Cottage is a delightful, surprisingly spacious, detached property. Believed to date back to 1580, with substantial and sympathetic additions. The Grade II listed property enjoys a wealth of period features including exposed timbers, stud work and a crown post.
The accommodation flows remarkably well, with well proportioned, light filled rooms and good ceiling height throughout. The drawing room is particularly pleasant, with a wood burning stove and French doors on to the garden.
The hand built kitchen/breakfast room has been cleverly designed by Orwells, with a granite work surface, AGA, integrated Neff oven, induction hob and fridge. A bay window looks out on to the garden with French doors leading to the terrace.
The upstairs accommodation comprise five good sized bedrooms, bathroom and useful storage cupboard. The principal bedroom is particularly elegant with a crown post, double aspect and an en suite shower room. The fifth bedroom is currently used as an excellent study.
Malting Cottage is set back from the quiet road and has a beautiful garden with wonderful trees including a very special oak tree, which is believed to be circa 400 years old. To the front of the property, behind a yew hedge is a superb vegetable garden, with fruit trees.
Also in the garden is a useful studio, which could be utilised as a detached home office. Ample parking including a shingle drive and double garage with electric doors.
Location
Malting Cottage is ideally situated on a designated Quiet Lane, surrounded by farmland, outside the village of Bentley, which provides amenities including a pub, village hall, primary school and shop. Ipswich and Colchester offers a full range of private, state and sixth form colleges. Colchester also has a grammar school.
Malting Cottage lies some 4 miles to the south west of Ipswich and 3 miles north of Manningtree. The historic town of Colchester is 10 miles to the south. The A137 Ipswich to Manningtree Road and the A12 are within easy access from the property. Manningtree, Colchester and Ipswich all offer regular train services to London Liverpool Street Station from 60, 50 and 65 minutes respectively. For the sailing enthusiast, the Rivers Stour and Orwell and Alton Water are all close by, as is the Suffolk and Essex coastline. The area provides very good walking and cycling routes.
