Converted Brewery Building For Sale
Please note this photograph is of the old brewery in it’s entirity, not the specific building conversion being sold.
The Old Fordham’s Ashwell Brewery – Interesting Buildings.
The architecture was utilitarian, though elegant and undertaken with fine craftsmanship.
Many years ago, Unique Property Bulletin bought an old cooperage building for use as our offices. The aroma in that property was wonderful. Originating from whisky barrels being made and also repaired. In fact there is a serious group of connoisseurs who specialise in the study of what previous vintage used to inhabit a cask (here). So when an old friend of the Bulletin decided to put his former brewery building up for sale, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. The aroma of an abode can be a compelling thing. Some less scrupulous estate agents recommend baking bread and having fresh coffee brewed when the prospective buyers are on their way. So when we asked our friend to send us some photographs, what arrived on our desk were pictures of this impressive building literally distilled out of the old brewery site. So many floors and so much space. Beautifully converted into a family home.
Transformed To A Unique Home: One of The Old Fordham Buildings.
This particular brewery complex has some fascinating history (here) and we just love the thought of clinking bottles from 100 years ago, making merry on their way to the local hostelries.
If the buildings on this old brewery site could speak, there would be tales to tell. Some characters just jump off of the pages from the history of this place in Hertfordshire.
Mr George Chalkley (1872-1928) At Fordham’s Brewery Buildings
The original Mill Street brewery was opened in 1836 – 180 years ago. The range of buildings dated back even earlier with some rickety old stables (now demolished). The finer elements have stood the test of time. Rarely do they come up for sale, but when one hits the market, there is a great deal of local interest.
Fordham’s Ashwell Brewery – Expansive Site
The offering in this element of Unique Property Bulletin is of a former brewery building from within the Fordham’s site. It has been carefully restored and refurbished. The selection of interior pictures show this to be a fine home, and large place to live.
Wide Open Spaces
Modern Contemporary Fittings
Luxury Bathrooms
We can’t help wonder what the old brewery foreman Mr George Chalkley would have made of this luxury – over four spacious floors, that now form part of modern day use here in the old buildings where he once – 100 years ago – he saw thousands of bottles loaded onto horse and cart.
Location: The Maltings, Mill St, Ashwell, Baldock, Hertfordshire, SG7 5LU.

Lock Keeper’s Cottage For Sale
Lock Keepers Cottage, Castlecary – Canalside Elevation
An interesting single storey facade to the lock side, whilst the sloped banking allows for a much larger two floor height elevation on the other. This presents a very interesting property dynamic. Far from the Barratt box!
Lock Keepers Cottage – Gardenside Elevation
This former lock keeper’s cottage is a detached 4 bedroom property, ideal for home or holiday lettings. The master bedroom is en-suite; there is gas central heating, double glazing, a garden and garage.
The only problem we can see is you may need to budget for a canal boat…
Not Included – But You Might Consider Budgeting For One
For example: here
Seriously! We could not envisage quietly watching the boats sail by. That is of course a wonderful feature to have around your views. Lots of interesting vessels and people. But who could resist actually sailing along the leisurely 4mph relaxing waterway leading right from your front door? If you are in a rush, maybe open the engines up to warp factor 6mph.
Lock Keepers Cottage, Castlecary – Contemporary Interior
Lock Keepers Cottage: Ideal For Home, Holidays or Lettings
Lock Keepers Cottage, Castlecary FK4 2HW
If you love water and like boats, there is a very nice outlook with this beautifully located little gem.
