Imagine celebrating Christmas 2025 in this beautifully restored, period home in the heart of Welford, Northamptonshire. Just imagine the glow of a roaring fire where the scent of pine from the Christmas tree mingles with the aroma of mulled wine and cinnamon. What’s not to love?
The Talbot & Granary derives from an old coaching in, dating back as far as 1647, steeped in history and now meticulously renovated into the spectacular homes they stand as today.
The original building would have served as a halfway house between London and the docks in Liverpool meaning lots of freight and carriages would have passed by horse & cart regularly through the village stopping at the inn! Throughout the years since, so much has taken place here, from the Spencer family undertaking their own renovations, Charles Dickens staying here referencing such within one of his novels, and an original priest hole remains to the corner of one room!
Well renowned local developers Renovo Homes have now produced two breathtaking homes of exceptional proportions offering something often unheard of - the chance to purchase a nearly 400 year old property with the benefit of 10 years warranty!
The Talbot itself forms a four bedroom executive home arranged over three floors offering a perfect blend of spacious modern living with some fantastic open plan spaces, alongside multiple other reception rooms providing a sense of versatility for any buyer.
As you enter the ground floor, through the grand original doorway, you are met with the open plan living kitchen which flows through to a dining room enjoying glazed doors that open directly out to the rear garden. In this space, you instantly sense the beautiful blend of high quality modern living together with an abundance of history on show. The kitchen is fitted with a beautiful range of units including a large island, and plenty of natural light floods the room from three aspects. Off to one corner you will find a Utility Room and WC. From this side, the inner hallway provides access to the remaining ground floor accommodation which includes a versatile study which could also make a brilliant play room and then perhaps holding some of the most exciting stories of the development’s history is the Living Room positioned to the front with beautiful stone fireplace and is home of the Priest Hole!
Rising to the first floor via the historical timber staircase, you will find the Master Bedroom on its own separate level with incredibly high ceilings and a large En-suite taking in far reaching views. Bedroom Three and Four also lie on this middle floor, each also being excellent in size.
The upper floor is predominantly occupied by a fantastic guest suite, named as Bedroom Two, with its own Ensuite. There is also a large store across the upper landing.
From the Kitchen, steps lead down to a spacious cellar which offers further potential ranging from excellent storage or an additional hobby space.
Moving outside, the garden has been beautifully landscaped to include an attractive stone patio area perfectly positioned to take advantage as the sun passes over throughout the day, before a large lawn. The garden is enclosed by a well appointed brick wall surround with gated access onto the parking beyond.
