4 bed detached house for sale

Trouthall Lane, Plumley WA16

`Malt Kiln Farm' is a truly exquisite four bedroom, two-bathroom Grade II listed former farmhouse, built circa 1650, and steeped in history. Offering substantial and versatile family accommodation, the property blends timeless period character with comfort and practicality.

Description

The beautifully stocked private gardens are a real highlight, featuring a quality greenhouse, a covered seating area, and a pond with the original well beneath. Unique heritage touches, including the former pig pen and separate bread oven, add charm and authenticity, making this a home that will appeal to those who value entertaining and distinctive period detail.
Accessed via private electric gates, the property opens into a shared courtyard with ample parking. The former barns have been sympathetically converted to provide a double garage with workshop space and stairs leading to an annex with potential to update to self-contained studio bed sit, ideal for families with older children, visiting guests, or those requiring dedicated work-from-home space.
The farmhouse itself is traditionally constructed of brick with black-and-white elevations with exposed internal beams, all set beneath a slate roof, and has evolved over centuries into a fine family residence. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom and W.C., a generous living room with open fireplace and French doors to the garden, spacious dining room, and a fully fitted study. The breakfast kitchen, centred around an Aga and supplemented by a conventional cooker, is complemented by a utility room. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a sizeable en-suite to the principal bedroom.
