Location
Welton is a charming hilltop village located on the western edge of Northamptonshire, just three miles north of the market town of Daventry, which offers a good range of shops, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. The village benefits from a primary school with an Outstanding Ofsted rating (2022), a public house, a church, and a village hall.

The first documentary evidence of Welton appears in the Domesday Book, with the name derived from the fresh springs and wells found in the locality.

With many magnificent countryside walks possible from the doorstep, Welton village also features a little-known but very beautiful and serene section of the Grand Union Canal, which accommodates Welton Haven Marina.

Situated between the A361 Banbury Road and the A5 Watling Street, Welton boasts excellent main road connections, with M1 Junction 18 just under six miles away. For public transportation, Long Buckby village train station is only five miles away and offers direct services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.

Grounds:
Front and Side Aspects
The property is set well back from Ashby Road, with a dropped kerb giving access to a macadam driveway that runs alongside the house to a detached timber garage. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by established shrubs and planting, with a central feature planter providing further interest.

The main entrance is sheltered beneath a projecting canopy. To the side of the property are two practical outbuildings, each fitted with modern three-bar locking doors. The first is arranged as a pantry with power, lighting, and space for a fridge freezer, while the second offers additional utility space and houses the combination boiler, also with power and lighting connected.

Rear Garden
The rear garden extends to around 100 feet and has been thoughtfully arranged to create a series of distinct and interesting spaces. Immediately adjoining the house is a raised patio with French doors from the dining room, providing an easy indoor-outdoor flow and an ideal setting for alfresco dining.

A further hardstanding area runs alongside the timber garage, next to a raised lawn. Beyond the garage is a versatile timber summer house, currently used as a cosy cinema room, complete with power, lighting, and fitted cut-pile carpet.

The central section of the garden features a raised rockery, while to the rear lies a generous lawn offering space for recreation. This leads to an additional seating area and a further patio at the far end of the garden, positioned to take full advantage of the uninterrupted countryside views. Lavender and rose borders line the post-and-rail boundary, adding seasonal colour and interest.

Garage
The detached timber garage is accessed via traditional double-swing ledged and braced doors with T-bar hinges. It provides versatile storage or workshop space, benefitting from power, lighting, and two separate casement windows.

Summer House
To the rear of the garage is a useful timber summer house, fitted with power and lighting. This versatile space lends itself to a variety of uses, including an occasional cinema room, home office, hobby or craft room, or simply as a quiet retreat within the garden.
