House For Sale £240,000
Introducing Midsummer Cottage, a 17th century two-bedroom thatched cottage nestled within the heart of the popular village of Welford which has been meticulously renovated throughout by the present owners retaining immense charm and character.
Once the old bakery, the cottage exudes history and our sellers have sympathetically made sure every detail has been carefully considered to preserve many original features while incorporating modern comforts, including exposed timber beams, solid wood doors, travertine tiled flooring, inglenook fireplaces and of course the thatched roof.
As you step into the property through the timber entrance door, you will immediately sense the feel of this cosy and welcoming residence. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, allowing all rooms to be of excellent size. The living room is positioned to the front of the home and offers plenty of room for large furniture, currently positioned to take in the main feature of the room, an impressive inglenook fireplace with beautiful oak beam above and exposed brickwork surround. The attractive staircase is open into the room and beneath is access down to the useable cellar, great for storage. To the rear is the impressive kitchen, hosting a range of matching units with oak worktop surfaces, an inset sink, electric oven with hob above, integrated fridge & freezer, plumbing for washing machine and timber door to the rear.
Ascending to the first floor, you will arrive onto the versatile central landing area, currently making a superb space for a home office with two additional storage cupboards. The second double bedroom is positioned to the front with built in cupboards and to the rear is the modern bathroom, elegantly finished with high-quality fixtures and fittings including a large shower within cubicle and separate freestanding bathtub with central taps.
A second staircase rises to the upper floor where you will find the master bedroom, a beautiful space tucked away but of really good size, with exposed brickwork, timber beams above and access to some eaves storage.
Externally to the rear, the property comes with an allocated parking space, accessed over a shared gravel driveway and actually provides the owners with a sun trap to enjoy sitting outside!
Situated in the heart of the village of Welford, Midsummer cottage allows the owners to enjoy the idyllic surroundings of a sought after North Northamptonshire village and immerse themselves in the local community. The village offers a range of amenities, including a handy shop, public house, St. Mary The Virgin Church and picturesque walking trails across rolling countryside surrounding the area.
What Our Sellers Say…
“Midsummer Cottage is a quaint, cosy, magical hideaway with character dating back to 1600s! We absolutely fell in love with it as soon as we stepped through the door, we have modernised throughout and redecorated with its history in mind, paying homage to it throughout every room. The area, even better! Gorgeous village with convenience everywhere and the most amazing field walks too. Additionally, we feel safe here, and I think there is a lot to be said for that. When we move, we’d like to move within the village, hopefully that says everything you need to know. If you appreciate character properties, history, amazing trails, quiet villages, beautiful pubs, and a place you can be proud to host in, then Midsummer Cottage is it.”
