Description

Welcome to The Malthouse, the 60-year family home of Sir Laurence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowright, nestled in the rolling hills of the Sussex downs. This secret escape has been a perfect retreat for two of the world's most famous actors, who bought the original Elizabethan farmhouse in the early 1960s and spent years developing and landscaping the plot. The property has been a hub of creativity and joy, with the Oliviers hosting friends and family, tending to the gardens they designed, and even filming a documentary in the house. The property features a range of unique rooms, including a cozy snug dining room with a roaring fireplace, where many memorable moments have been shared. The master bedroom, with its stunning view of the surrounding countryside, has been the perfect spot for the Oliviers to learn lines and rehearse for their next performances. With its rich history, beautiful gardens, and magical atmosphere, The Malthouse is a truly unique and special property that has been a haven for the Olivier family for generations.
