Welcome to The Malthouse, a 60-year family home of legendary actors Sir Laurence Olivier and Dame Joan Plowright, nestled in the rolling hills of the Sussex downs. This secluded retreat has been the perfect haven for the couple, who spent over three decades raising their three children, running the Chichester Theatre, and founding the National Theatre Company at the Old Vic. The property has been lovingly crafted by Larry, who bought the original Elizabethan farmhouse and surrounding fields, transforming them into a 4.5-acre estate with a tennis court, indoor swimming pool, and self-contained yoga and art studios. The house itself features a cozy snug dining room with dark beamed panelling and roaring fireplace, where many memorable moments were shared with friends and family. The master bedroom, known as "The View," boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, where Larry and Joan would often learn lines for their next performances. With its rich history, stunning gardens, and tranquil atmosphere, The Malthouse is a true gem, offering a glimpse into the lives of two of the world's most iconic actors.
