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 enchanting property has been the perfect retreat for the renowned actors, who have shared countless memories within its walls. Originally two small cottages, the property has been lovingly developed and landscaped by Laurence himself, with the help of his wife Joan. The property boasts a stunning view, a master bedroom with doors that open onto a sun-drenched terrace, and a cozy snug dining room with a roaring fireplace. The Olivier's have entertained many famous friends and family members here, including Paul Newman, Richard Burton, and Maggie Smith, and the property has been the setting for many a memorable moment, including Sir Laurence's 80th birthday party and the filming of a documentary about Dame Joan's life. With its magical atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and rich history, The Malthouse is a truly unique and special property that offers a glimpse into the lives of two of the world's most beloved actors.
