Description

Set within a beautifully private plot of just under an acre in the village of Weldon, this enchanting unlisted 17th-century residence is a home of rare character and quiet distinction. Thoughtfully and sympathetically enhanced by the current owners, it marries centuries-old charm with a versatile layout designed for modern living — offering a lifestyle of space, seclusion and understated elegance.

Interior

A welcoming entrance lobby with exposed stone work opens into a generous reception hall, setting the tone for the sense of flow and character found throughout the home. From here, a collection of beautifully proportioned rooms unfold.

The split-level sitting room is particularly striking, with dual aspects, generous sizing and a wonderful sense of light. Tucked discreetly beyond is a hidden library or study — an intimate retreat that opens onto a private patio, perfect for quiet moments or working from home.

An additional reception room with a fireplace provides a relaxed family space and connects seamlessly to a bright dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen breakfast room is well appointed and enjoys lovely views in several directions, while a practical utility hall leads out to the garden and incorporates a convenient ground-floor shower room — perfect after countryside walks and for cleaning up muddy paws.

Upstairs, a long characterful landing with window seats creates a peaceful transition between rooms. The principal suite forms its own private wing, featuring a generous bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a huge luxurious four-piece ensuite. At the opposite end of the house are three further double bedrooms and a fifth bedroom currently arranged as a home office, served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Gardens & Grounds

Approached via a five-bar gate leading to a large driveway with parking for numerous vehicles, the property sits discreetly within its mature, thoughtfully arranged grounds.

The gardens unfold into a series of distinct yet harmonious spaces — formal lawns, landscaped areas, and three separate terraces carefully designed for outdoor dining and entertaining. A sunken patio creates a wonderfully private setting, ideal for lazy summer evenings.

A range of outbuildings enhances both lifestyle and practicality, including a fully converted double garage with an insulated, boarded loft room, a detached studio or home office, and a contemporary summerhouse overlooking the garden. Beyond the main lawn lies an orchard area, and at the far boundary private access to the tranquility of willow brook — a truly special feature that completes the sense of retreat.

Location

Weldon is a highly regarded village known for its strong community feel and everyday conveniences, including local shops, cafés, sports clubs and well-regarded schooling. Surrounded by countryside yet exceptionally practical, the property is ideally positioned for commuters, with direct rail services to London in approximately 50 minutes, making it perfectly suited to those seeking a refined country lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity.
