Location

Steeple Langford is a charming village nestled in the desirable Wylye Valley, designated both a Conservation Area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a strong sense of community, with an active village hall, a historic church, and the popular Langford Lakes Nature Reserve and café, managed by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. For young families, the village is home to Farley Nursery School, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.

The beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury, located around 10 miles to the east, offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, arts venues and recreational facilities. Salisbury also provides a direct train service to London Waterloo, with a journey time of approximately 90 minutes.

The area is well served by a wide choice of both state and independent schools, including Salisbury Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove, and Godolphin, as well as Bishop Wordsworth’s, South Wilts Grammar, and Kingdown School in Warminster. Further afield are Dauntsey’s, Port Regis, Bryanston, Clayesmore, and Sandroyd.

The nearby A303 provides access to the south west and London, via the M3.

Description

The Malt House is a beautiful late 17th-century period property, featuring an attractive chequered limestone and flint façade beneath a red clay tiled roof. It is centrally positioned in the heart of the village, with its garden privately enclosed by a charming walled garden. The house features an annexe, barn and several outbuildings. It is a wonderful opportunity to create an exquisite family house in the highly sought after village. The house is not listed by Historic England.

From the main entrance, the front door leads into the reception room, which has a window overlooking the front of the house and a wood-burning stove. The snug next door also faces the front and features a second wood-burning stove. The main staircase leads to the first floor landing.
At the far end of the house is the kitchen, which has windows on two sides, an oil-fired Aga, and a range of floor and wall-mounted units. There is also an electric oven and hob arrangement for the summer months. The dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen.
The back door opens into the scullery with a separate guest WC. From here, a spiral staircase also leads to the first floor. A further door connects to a storeroom, the adjoining barn, and the garden.
Upstairs there are four spacious double bedrooms, a single bedroom and family bathroom.

The annexe, converted from a former cow shed in the 1970s, comprises a spacious kitchen/sitting room, a guest WC, and a double bedroom.

Outside

The large, enclosed garden is mainly laid to lawn and planted with a wide variety of native plants, shrubs, and a number of trees, including lilac, cherry, and several fruit trees. The garden has two access points. One via a five-bar wooden gate to the south, and the other through a particularly attractive carriageway entrance from the lane.
