For Sale8 Bedroom End of terrace House in High Street, Iron Acton£1,250,000

A rare opportunity to acquire a central high street period property with 1.75 acres of private grounds, including woodland walks, a swimming pool, and beautifully converted annexed accommodation. It is unusual for a home of such character and scale to come to the market in a high street setting. Situated within the conservation area in Iron Acton, close to the church, The Old Malthouse combines history, charm, and modern practicality. Dating back to the mid-17th century, the property has been under the same ownership since 1983 and was thoughtfully modernised at that time, with care taken to preserve its many period features. This handsome home boasts beamed ceilings, stone and inglenook fireplaces, log burning stoves, window seats, and vaulted ceilings with exposed trusses. The result is a house of generous proportions with comfortable ceiling heights, a welcoming atmosphere, and flexible living spaces. The reception hall leads to a number of fine reception rooms. The drawing room and sitting room are particularly inviting, both with character features, large inglenook fireplaces and access to the gardens, the latter opening directly onto the grounds. A well-proportioned dining room looks out over the gardens, while the large kitchen/breakfast room provides a heart to the home, also connecting seamlessly with the outdoor space. This room is paricularly impressive in size for a home of this age. The study, fitted with bespoke solid wood shelving, cupboards and desk, overlooks the high street, making it ideal for working from home. A utility room and a separate wet room complete the practical ground floor accommodation. A particularly special feature is the integral converted barn, currently a games room with wood floor and nearly triple height vaulted ceiling. This flexible space could equally serve as studio, gym, or a self-contained annexe (subject to planning). To the first floor, the principal bedroom is a true highlight with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, window seats, and an en suite bathroom. Adjacent is a study/bedroom 5, ideal as a nursery. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor, each with individual character and charm. To the second floor, a sixth bedroom and two attic rooms provide further accommodation, ideal as hobby rooms or additional bedrooms if required. Positioned across the drive, a detached stone and tiled building has been thoughtfully converted to provide independent living space. With its own oil-fired central heating system, the accommodation includes a vaulted sitting room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bath/shower room perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential holiday letting. Location and Situation - Nestled in the rolling fringe of the Cotswolds and lying approximately 2 miles west of Yate and 9 miles northeast of central Bristol, Iron Acton is a charming South Gloucestershire village and civil parish brimming with heritage and rural appeal. Designated a Conservation Area in 1975, Iron Acton is recognised for its architectural and historic charm whilst still having easy connectivity to key amenities and travel links being approximately 5 miles from the M4 motorway, 5.5 miles from Bristol Parkway train station and 18 miles to Bristol airport. Outside - The property is approached via a gravel drive, passing between the house and a substantial detached stone and tiled triple-bay garage, with two electrically operated doors, one manual door, and a large adjoining workshop/storage area. A generous gravelled parking area lies beyond, alongside a further stone and tiled outbuilding. To the rear, the private grounds extend to approximately 1.75 acres. A charming walled lawned garden is bordered by mature planting and leads to expansive lawns, interspersed with established trees and gravel pathways. Stone steps rise to the heated enclosed swimming pool, with paved surround and summer house/changing room. Beyond lies an enchanting private woodland where meandering pathways invite peaceful strolls. Fruit trees and an abundance of wildlife adds to the property's incredible country lifestyle.
