5 bedroom detached house for sale

Set on a beautifully private plot of just under an acre in the heart of Weldon, this charming, unlisted, 17th Century residence has been lovingly updated by the current owners and combines period character with a surprisingly flexible layout. With many period features and multiple outbuildings, the property offers both space and seclusion.

INDOOR SPACE
The ground floor layout flows from a welcoming entrance lobby into a spacious reception hall, from which several distinctive rooms branch off. An expansive living room with dual aspects and striking period features leads to a hidden library/study, cleverly concealed and opening onto a private patio. A cosy snug with fireplace connects through to a bright dining room, while the kitchen breakfast room is well fitted and looks out in multiple directions. Beyond the kitchen, a utility room leads to a useful downstairs shower room as well as having garden access.

Upstairs, the landing adds further character, with window seats and plenty of natural light. The principal suite occupies its own wing and features a king-sized bedroom with fitted wardrobes, and an impressively large four-piece ensuite. At the opposite end of the house are three additional double bedrooms and the fifth bedroom is currently used as an office, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom.

OUTDOOR SPACE
Approached via a five-bar gate and generous driveway with space for around ten cars, the home sits discreetly within its mature plot. The grounds are arranged into several defined areas: formal lawns, a series of landscaped gardens inspired by the owner’s travels, and three distinct entertaining terraces, including a sunken patio which offers a real sense of privacy.

There are multiple outbuildings, including a fully converted double garage with a sizeable, boarded loft room benefiting from insulation, power and lighting; a separate studio or office; and a modern summerhouse overlooking the garden. The lawn areas, while extensive, are surprisingly low maintenance. To the far end of the grounds is an orchard area, with the furthermost boundary having peaceful river frontage with its own private access.

LOCATION
Weldon is a popular and well-connected village with a strong sense of community. It offers everyday conveniences including two pubs, a shop, cafes, sporting clubs and both primary and secondary schools. With countryside on your doorstep and easy access to larger towns nearby, the location blends village charm with modern practicality.
