Three Bedroom Detached Character Cottage For Sale in Weedon

Dating back to 1886, this detached cottage sits proudly in an elevated position within the heart of Weedon and, from the outside, gives little away about just how much space and flexibility it offers inside.

Having been a much-loved home for over 20 years, it’s easy to understand why the current owners have stayed so long. The house blends its Victorian origins with thoughtful modern additions, creating a home that keeps its character while working comfortably for modern family life.

Set back from the road, the property is boasts a driveway leading to a garage - something rarely found with homes of this age - alongside an attractive fore garden that softens the approach and adds to the cottage feel.

Step inside and there is an immediate sense of practicality, with space for coats and shoes and a handy downstairs WC. From here, the home opens into a welcoming lounge; a bright yet cosy room centred around a log burner, perfect for quieter evenings. An original internal window remains, a subtle reminder of the cottage’s history and now allowing borrowed light through from the extended living space beyond.

To the rear, the house opens up beautifully into a modern kitchen/diner, undoubtedly the social heart of the home. The extension has transformed everyday living here, creating a spacious and well-planned area with ample storage, integrated appliances and a long breakfast bar - ideally positioned beside the wine rack, which feels entirely appropriate for entertaining. Pendant lighting and exposed beams add warmth, while large bi-fold doors connect seamlessly to the garden, bringing in plenty of natural light.

Upstairs, the landing enjoys a pleasant outlook and leads to three genuine double bedrooms.

The main bedroom is particularly impressive, with a vaulted ceiling, dual-aspect windows and built-in storage creating a calm and airy space. Bedrooms two and three also benefit from fitted storage, making them practical rooms whether used for family, guests or working from home.

The family bathroom has a more indulgent feel than you might expect from a cottage of this era, featuring both a separate shower and a freestanding bath - somewhere you can properly unwind at the end of the day.

The loft has been boarded and insulated, offering useful additional storage.

Outside

The rear garden is a real highlight and enjoys a west-facing aspect, meaning afternoon and evening sun across multiple seating areas. Immediately outside the bi-fold doors is a sheltered patio ideal for outdoor dining, with steps rising to a decked entertaining space large enough for gatherings, relaxing or even a hot tub.

A detached cabin sits within the garden and is currently used as a home office - ideal for anyone working remotely or meeting clients without needing access through the house. Beyond this lies further garden space, offering flexibility for lawn, growing space or simply somewhere to enjoy a quieter corner outdoors. There are even a few unexpected features along the way, adding to the individuality and story of the property.

The Location

Weedon Bec remains one of Northamptonshire’s most well-connected villages, often described as sitting close to the centre of England. The village has a strong community feel and a wide range of day-to-day amenities including a convenience store, café, doctors’ surgery, dentist and pharmacy, along with several pubs and places to eat. The historic Depot is also a popular local destination.

The Grand Union Canal, nearby countryside walks and bridleways are all close by, while road links are excellent for commuting and Long Buckby railway station is only a short drive away.

This is a home with genuine character, surprising space and a layout that suits modern living far better than you might expect at first glance - one that really needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
