Description

Set in the sought-after village of Weston by Welland, 8 The Green offers characterful accommodation across three floors, complemented by a private garden, off-road parking, and secondary accommodation.

Dating back to the mid-1600s and Grade II listed, this traditional property has been extensively modernised to create a well-proportioned family home while retaining period features such as exposed stone walls, beams, and striking fireplaces.

Ground Floor
Accessed via an extensive gravelled courtyard, between house and annex, providing generous parking, the rear door opens into a stunning entrance hall with stone and brick flooring and a vaulted ceiling. Steps lead to a central hallway with W.C., utility room, and sitting room via an original stone archway.

To the left, the kitchen/dining room forms the hub of the home, with dual-aspect windows, exposed beams, and stone floors. Handmade Plain English units, solid oak worktops, and a butler’s sink complement integrated appliances: Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, Neff dishwasher, two ovens, and hob. A pantry with cold shelf adds storage. There’s ample space for dining and entertaining.

Steps lead to the formal dining room, featuring exposed beams, woodburning stove, and handmade storage units. Large front windows flood the room with light, while character details create a cosy feel.

The sitting room impresses with its stone fireplace and woodburning stove, exposed walls, and beams. Beyond lies a snug with built-in media wall and window seat—a perfect reading nook.

From the hallway, steps descend to the utility room (restricted head height) with fitted units and appliance space. The W.C. completes the floor.

Stone steps rise to the ‘Hayloft’—a bright, vaulted space adapted as a guest bedroom with ensuite shower room.

The kitchen includes integrated appliances, breakfast bar, and ample storage. A feature fireplace adds charm to the sitting area. Upstairs, a spacious double bedroom with contemporary ensuite completes the annexe.
