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.

Peaceful and unusual house
We enjoyed our stay at this characterful secluded property. The large dining room table was ideal for our family, as was the privacy of the location.

Great place
We thought it was a great place with loads of atmosphere. The garden and woodland areas are, in parts, overgrown which gives added fun to children. There is a" Famous Five" feel with quality stuff but nothing too precious and a good place to relax. We want to return next year so don't want to be too enthusiastic and attract competition.

A real gem
Malacca is the perfect place to get away from it all. The children had a blast in the large front garden and woods. The property is very cozy and has everything you will need for a base to explore the island. Thank you for a great stay.

Brilliant property in an excellent location!
We booked this property for a last minute getaway and James (the owner) was brilliant at responding to questions quickly, and even arranged for a welcome hamper with thoughtful essentials! We all had a great time and would return without hesitation.
