The Maltings, Earlswood, B94

Located just off Malthouse Lane on the edge of the picturesque Earlswood Lakes, The Maltings is a private gated development of just nine executive family homes. These fabulous properties were created in 2007 and since then the owners of 9 The Maltings have upgraded and enhanced this family home to create a very light and airy space throughout.

As you approach the property you immediately notice the width of the plot it occupies – having a generous block paved driveway to one side leading to the double garages and smart landscaped gardens to the front with pathways leading to the very smart, recently added, contemporary entrance porch.

Once inside, the reception hall is very spacious, light and airy, with engineered oak flooring and neutral décor, with the staircase leading off to one side and useful understairs storage below. The guest WC has been upgraded and is presented to a high standard.

All principal ground floor rooms lead off from the reception hall, creating a superb flow to the downstairs space. To the far end through a smart set of double oak and bevelled glass doors is the fantastic dual aspect living room, immaculately presented and having a feature open fireplace with modern surround and marble inset and hearth, which creates a wonderful space for family and friends to relax and entertain.

Making the most of the terrace and private gardens, the living room has a set of bi-folding doors merging these two spaces. Adjacent to the living room, again through double oak and bevelled glass doors, is the well-proportioned family dining room, with a further set of bi-folding doors to the rear patio, beautiful oak flooring and ample space for a large family dining table. This room offers multiple options for the family and could equally be a further sitting room or children’s playroom. Overlooking the peaceful frontage is an ideally located private study, which again could have other uses for the new owners.

The open plan breakfast kitchen is superbly well-appointed and fitted with a high-end range of light ash style modern cabinetry with contemporary chrome bar handles. Taking centre stage is the large central island with solid wood side panels and countertops and further storage units together with the CDA built in wine cooler and two Neff pan warming drawers. The main kitchen range consists of multiple deep pan drawers, up and over wall cabinets, tall cupboards and larder units, and a modern stainless steel concertina larder cupboard.

The units contrast perfectly with the beautiful black fleck granite countertops, upstands, and windowsill. Together with the appliances housed within the central island, there is also a superb double width Smeg range cooker, having an oversized oven and six-burner gas hob, benefitting from a fully vented extractor above. There is also an integrated Neff microwave, Neff oven and grill, Neff coffee machine and a recently upgraded Blomberg dishwasher. Finally, there is a most useful round oak built-in chopping board, inset sink, drainer and mixer tap, with a large picture window above, to enjoy views across the private rear gardens. Aside from the main kitchen area there are two further excellent storage areas, and this open plan room offers ample space for a separate large family dining table and a double width American fridge freezer.

Flowing seamlessly from this “hub of the home” is the superb orangery, creating a fourth reception area and the perfect space, with both rooms adjoined, for the family to come together, socialise, dine and relax. The Orangery has a set of French doors to the terrace, and with underfloor heating, it’s a delightful space to be enjoyed throughout the year.
The laundry room leading off from the kitchen has the same high-quality units and granite countertops with upstands. It also has a range of tall storage cupboards, undercounter and wall cabinets and a large inset Belfast sink together with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a door leading to the outside side terrace and adjacent to the garage side door entrance.

Upstairs
The dog leg staircase rises to a generous landing area with all bedrooms leading off. There are five double bedrooms to the first floor, each immaculately presented and having front and rear private views.

The principal bedroom suite is chic and stylish and enjoys rear views overlooking the peaceful rear gardens, with a tall natural screening to one side and views across a wild meadow to the other. It has a superb range of six floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes with soft close and two feature mirrored doors, and there is also ample space for a super king bed and further bedroom furniture. The en-suite is incredibly spacious and very luxurious with porcelain tiling and a beautiful Villeroy & Boch suite including double built in hand basins inset into smart quartz tops with excellent storage below, and a superb large chrome framed inset mirror above, a low level WC, bidet and a large double walk-in modern shower and two Radox modern chrome towel rails and a mirrored cabinet with gas lift and vanity mirrors within.

There is a second double bedroom suite with built over cabinets and wardrobes with a housing for a king size bed. The second en-suite is also immaculately presented with a double shower cubicle, Villeroy & Boch hand basin and low-level WC and has a superb large, fitted mirror and modern chrome towel rail.

The family bathroom has underfloor heating and is beautifully fitted with contrasting tiling in black, white, and grey, creating a stylish contemporary feel. There are two modern Randox chrome towel rails, Villeroy and Boch fitted sanitary wear including a hand basin inset into a quartz top with storage below, a low-level WC and a double shower cubicle, and there is also an inset bathtub with a modern grey front panel and fully tiled splash back.

There are three further double bedrooms, all immaculately presented and offering various storage. One of the bedrooms is currently fitted out as a dressing room with a superb array of fitted wardrobes. There is also an airing cupboard housing the OSO high pressure water system and ample shelving for linens and a loft which provides additional storage space.

Outside
The rear garden is both delightful and incredibly private with a tall mature conifer screening to the back. The clever design offers two separate areas and has been well landscaped by the current owners. The main garden has a large lawned area with a Cotswold stone terrace spanning the width of the property and creating direct access onto the patio from the bi-folding doors in the living room and dining room and French doors from the orangery.

There are deep borders surrounding the garden with lovely mature shrubbery and a pathway through the lawns leads to a set of steps and down to the lower garden terrace. Modern composite planters create a natural retaining wall between the two areas and offer a further planting area with an array of mature shrubbery. The lower terrace has attractive pathing and creates a superb space for further entertaining and outdoor dining. There is also an excellent shed/summer house to the lower level. To the top garden, the terrace wraps around one side to create a useful access from front to back via a gated entrance, it also offers an ideal area for the log store and access into the side door of the garage and laundry room in the main house.
