About this property
Charming rural property with a nautical feel.
Malacca is a lovingly converted house. Set in four acres of woodland, it is a perfect location to relax and as a base to enjoy the island. Set on a slope above the Medina Valley, an old stable block has been transformed with furniture custom made for the house and from the former Royal Yacht.
The well equipped kitchen and larder at the end of the house lead into a long dining room with custom made table to sit 14, surrounded by old church pew and chairs. The former town hall doors have been converted to fold back, separating it from the living room. The parquet flooring leads through to the lounge with log burner and large glazed bay. Further along are a cloakroom, walk in shower, and single and double furnished with decking and fittings from the Royal Yacht.
A couple of steps up from the Lounge lead to the sauna. Next is a small ladder to a boat like double bed cabin (best for the younger or more agile). An ensuite double and spacious bathroom are at the back of the house. Upstairs you will find the valuted ceiling bedroom with fitted wardrobes and snug ideal for curling up with a book. Off it is a large balcony with excellent views over the woodland and surrounding area.
Outside is a patio and lawn which continues into the woodland, giving good privacy from the road. Behind the house is a mature orchard, continuing into woodland.
