Generous family accommodation with south-facing walled garden and double garage.
Large detached stone cottage, approx 2,011 sq ft
Bardon Cottage is a roomy, stone-built family home in the sought-after village of Welton. The house offers generous living space across two floors — about 2,011 sq ft — with a large open-plan kitchen/dining area, a separate lounge, and a garden room that doubles as a fourth bedroom. Three double bedrooms sit upstairs, the principal benefitting from an en-suite and dressing area. Outside is a south-facing walled lawn and patio, plus a double garage and parking.
The property wears its period character clearly: exposed beams, stone walls and solid oak internal doors create a comfortable, traditional atmosphere. Practical fittings include fitted wardrobes, blackout blinds to bedrooms, UPVC external doors and gas central heating (combi boiler located in the garage). The village location gives easy access to local shops, services and well-regarded primary and secondary schooling.
There are important maintenance and improvement points to note. The EPC is grade D and the original stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, glazing replacements or heating improvements) would materially improve comfort and running costs. Some glazing is pre-2002 double glazing which may not meet modern thermal standards. The plot is relatively small for the property’s footprint, and council tax is above average.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family house with immediate liveability and clear potential to add value and efficiency through sympathetic refurbishment. It will suit buyers seeking village life with roomy accommodation and who are prepared to invest in energy and fabric improvements.
