CAN charming period features sit comfortably alongside contemporary, modern living?

A look around The Maltings, in the pretty conservation village of Appleton Roebuck, will convince you that they can.

This Grade II listed home retains a wealth of period features which blend perfectly into the modern work.

Rooms are arranged on three levels, with a drawing room and formal dining room contrasting against modern features such as a garden room and a potential games room.

Inside, the drawing room boasts exposed timber flooring, a sash bay window and window seat, a period fireplace and original servants' bells, while the dining room has window shutters and an open chimney.

There is a cosy snug with a period cast iron fireplace, a boot room, a cellar and a conservatory/garden room which has limestone flooring and French doors to the garden.

The breakfast room adds a modern contemporary twist, with limestone flooring, underfloor heating, sash windows and views of the garden, and it is open to the kitchen, which is fitted and equipped with oak-fronted base and wall units, granite work preparation surfaces and integrated appliances. There is a four-oven electric Aga range cooker, too.

The master bedroom boasts a fireplace and luxurious en-suite bathroom with a large square bath, double shower stall, a pedestal washbasin and matching WC, while the en-suite in the guest bedroom has an oval free-standing bath.

Bedroom three has exposed flooring and a period fireplace.

There is a house bathroom and two extra rooms.

Outside, there is a rear courtyard, lawns and a double garage.
