Malthouse Lane

Set behind double electric gates along the serene Malthouse Lane, this is a house that feels settled within its surroundings. The approach is measured. A sweep of driveway, space to arrive and pause, and a sense of separation from the road that immediately shifts the pace. Built in 2018 by Marden Homes, the house carries the reassurance of modern construction, but with a finish that leans towards longevity rather than trend.
Inside, the entrance hall is deliberate, a rooflight overhead brings in a steady wash of natural light, changing subtly throughout the day, increasing the sense of openness. A cloakroom sits just off the hall, neatly positioned for everyday use. The kitchen/breakfast room is designed around use: Solid wood German cabinetry and granite work surfaces provide a tactile, durable finish, while integrated appliances — double oven, induction hob and Quooker tap — support both quick weekday routines and more considered cooking at the weekends. Doors open directly onto the patio, allowing the room to extend outward in warmer months. A separate utility room, with access to the garage, keeps the practicalities of family life out of sight but within easy reach. Across the ground floor, there’s a natural flexibility. The dining room can be opened up or closed off via double doors, depending on the occasion, and enjoys a clear view onto the garden. The sitting room, dual aspect and well-proportioned, is arranged around light and access, with further doors opening onto the sun drenched garden. Underfloor heating runs throughout, providing a consistent warmth.
Upstairs, the arrangement is both functional and well judged. Three bedrooms overlook the garden, each with a straightforward, calm outlook; one benefits from its own en suite. The principal suite is a private retreat, with a dressing room that allows the bedroom to remain uncluttered, alongside a well-finished en suite. Bathrooms across the house feature quality details, with underfloor heating adding a practical layer of comfort.
The double garage has been adapted to suit current needs — part gym, part storage — but retains its original function with an electric up-and-over door and EV charging point. Additional storage within the roof space adds to its usefulness. Outside, the garden is oriented to capture the best of the light. South-east facing, it captures light from morning to late afternoon. The lawn is open and usable, bordered by raised beds and structured planting that gives definition without feeling overly designed. A patio wraps around the house, offering different places to sit at different times of day. Side access on both sides keeps movement easy and practical.
