This handsome, five bedroom period building was part of the Fordham’s Brewery and awarded the NHDC Civic Award for its conversion. The Maltings enjoys one of the most attractive locations in Ashwell, situated on the edge of the village yet only a short walk away from the highly regarded Bushel & Strike Pub & Restaurant. Nearby are butchers and other local amenities. The property retains many period features and enjoys very nice views over Ashwell Church and the rolling countryside.
