House of Character in Rabat

About this property

Historic House of Character in the Heart of Rabat Set within the charming village core of Rabat, this exceptional House of Character dates back over 550 years and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Maltese history. Semi-converted and full of potential, the property boasts a striking 30-foot façade and occupies a plot of approximately 150 square metres. At basement level, the house features two atmospheric rooms ideal for use as a wine cellar or private retreat, along with a traditional mill room that can be transformed into a spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. On the ground floor, one finds a separate sitting room, a guest bathroom, and a welcoming hallway complete with a wood-burning fireplace—adding both warmth and charm to the home’s historic character. The first floor accommodates a large main bedroom with space for an en suite, a second double bedroom with a front-facing balcony, a study, a boxroom, and a main bathroom. The second floor is particularly impressive, with a 100 square metre bedroom that includes a walk-in wardrobe, en suite facilities, and an additional study area. This space can easily be reconfigured into two separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Complementing this level is a 50 square metre terrace, as well as a roof terrace that enjoys stunning 360° views of the surrounding area. Further enhancing the property is a private lift connecting the basement to the rooftop, two skylights that introduce natural light into the upper levels, and an original spring well. A second wood-burning fireplace adds a cosy, rustic touch. The house also holds a 4D permit with a capacity for 150 people, offering unique commercial or hospitality potential.
