The Talbot & Granary - Exclusive Elegant Homes | House in Welford

Summary:
Experience refined countryside luxury with The Talbot & The Granary, two elegant neighbouring homes, sleeping up to 18 guests. With expansive open-plan living, sumptuous bedrooms, landscaped gardens, BBQ, and a private hot tub, these properties offer the perfect setting for luxury group retreats or multi-family escapes in tranquil, beautifully designed surroundings.
The Space:
The Granary
Enter through the beautifully landscaped garden into the striking entrance of The Granary, where double-height, floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the interior with natural light. The welcoming hallway, complete with practical boot and coat storage (just down the stairs), leads seamlessly into the heart of the home — a vast, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area designed for culinary experiences and entertaining.
Designed with both beauty and purpose in mind, the kitchen is effortlessly refined. A serene palette of earthy greens and natural wood finishes is elevated by a striking contemporary glass structure that frames uninterrupted garden views. Every detail has been carefully considered — from statement pieces to premium appliances — creating a space as functional as it is elegant.
Original beams crown the living and dining area, where ambient lighting and curated artwork provide warmth and texture. A restored open fireplace anchors the space, inviting cosy evenings by the fire. Just beyond, a few steps lead down to a snug — a sumptuous, cocoon-like hideaway perfect for quiet reading or film nights, layered in soft textiles and steeped in historic charm.
A discreet utility room and guest WC are tucked just off the entrance, blending convenience with thoughtful design.
Upstairs, the exposed brickwork staircase with bold black and timber detailing leads to the first floor, home to two beautifully appointed king-sized bedrooms. An expansive family bathroom provides comfort and style on this floor, complete with a walk-in rainfall shower and a bath, ideal for long, restorative soaks.
Continue up to the second floor and discover the family suite: an expansive king-sized bedroom with an adjoining room featuring a pull out daybed — perfect for younger guests or quiet reading. The en-suite bathroom is a true highlight, featuring a luxurious freestanding bath with sweeping sunset views across the garden and surrounding countryside, as well as a walk-in shower.
For those desiring additional privacy or space, The Granary includes a charming annex, sleeping two further guests. This separate retreat offers all the style and comfort of the main house and features a king-size bed that, like all beds throughout the property, can be configured as twins to suit your group. Complete with its own en-suite bathroom, the annex is an ideal option for grandparents, teens, or friends seeking a little solitude within the setting of a shared stay.
The beautifully landscaped garden features modern outdoor furniture and a BBQ area — an ideal setting for relaxing evenings or entertaining guests al fresco.
The Talbot
Step through the landscaped garden into The Talbot’s welcoming entrance, where you’re immediately drawn into the expansive, open-plan kitchen and dining area — the heart of the home. Soft wood tones and exposed brickwork frame a striking kitchen. Statement lighting, premium appliances, and thoughtful design details elevate the space. Just off the kitchen is a discreet utility room and guest WC, designed with convenience in mind.
Continue through to the central hallway, where warm oak floors lead into a beautifully styled living room. Rich textures, plush furnishings, and an open fireplace create a space that’s as inviting as it is elegant — perfect for evenings spent curled up with a book or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire.
Tucked away at the rear of the house is a thoughtfully designed snug and games room, perfect for quality family time. Sink into the cosy sofa, challenge each other to a game of table football, or explore the curated selection of board games — there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Upstairs, a restored staircase leads to four serene and stylish bedrooms. The master suite is spacious and bathed in natural light, with high ceilings that enhance its sense of grandeur. Featuring a king-sized bed, a dedicated dressing area, and a luxurious en-suite complete with a walk-in rainfall shower and a freestanding roll top bath, it exudes sophistication while offering picturesque views over the garden and countryside beyond.
Additionally, on this floor, one bedroom features a king-sized bed, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams, creating a calming retreat styled in soft neutral tones, while another bedroom showcases characterful exposed brickwork and glimpses of the original fireplace, with beams and natural light adding texture and warmth.
The family bathroom is finished to the highest standard, featuring elegant fittings, a shower, and a bath perfect for long, indulgent soaks.
On the upper level, a king-sized bedroom offers quiet privacy, complete with a sleek en-suite and elevated views across rooftops and rolling fields.
Throughout The Talbot, all beds can be configured as twins or doubles, allowing you to tailor your stay to the needs of your group.
