Maltings Cottage Melton Hill, Woodbridge, IP12 1AX

Maltings Cottage - A Rare Pre-Georgian Gem in the Heart of Woodbridge This exceptional and substantial four-bedroom detached family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of living history, originally dating back to the 17th Century and constructed before 1710.

Grade II listed and built in brick, block and timber frame, Maltings Cottage has been sympathetically extended and lovingly maintained over the years, seamlessly blending period character with modern comfort - offered for sale with no onward chain.

Situated a stone's throw from Woodbridge's celebrated Thoroughfare and within easy walking distance of the River Deben, the property is approached via a private access road leading to a generous driveway and a large garage with electric roller door.

An impressive attached Nissen Hut of corrugated iron construction - complete with power, lighting and inspection pit - offers fantastic further potential.

Inside, the home opens into a welcoming porch with tiled flooring, leading through to a reception hall where exposed beams and studwork create a natural study area, ideal for those working from home.

The generous sitting room is a true showpiece, centred around an impressive Inglenook fireplace with wood burner, framed by exposed beams and timbers.

To the rear, a light-filled family room with dual aspect and skylights opens via bi-fold doors onto the garden, flowing naturally into the kitchen/breakfast room - the heart of the home.

The kitchen has been fitted with an extensive range of handcrafted units, butler sink, range-style cooker with extraction canopy and integrated dishwasher.

An adjoining dining room with traditional wood panelling and feature fireplace adds further period elegance, while a useful inner lobby provides under-stairs storage and additional access throughout the home.

Upstairs, accessed via two characterful staircases, four generously sized bedrooms provide excellent accommodation.

The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with Velux window and a luxurious en-suite featuring a Jacuzzi bath, separate shower, basin and WC.

A guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a substantial double bedroom with built-in storage, and a fourth bedroom served by the main bathroom complete the first floor, alongside a landing area offering scope for a further study space.

The property occupies a generous and predominantly walled plot.

The rear garden is a peaceful and private retreat, featuring a patio area ideal for outdoor entertaining, mature borders, trees and shrubs, and a charming summer house with pond and footbridge.

The garden benefits from morning sunlight and is easily accessible from the main living areas, making it perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
