The property Approached via a long, tree-lined drive flanked by majestic poplars, Wellow Mead reveals itself slowly and gracefully, passing by its own paddocks and gardens before arriving at a generous parking area in front of the house, which dates back to 1690.
The front door opens into a welcoming reception hall, forming the central hub from which all principal reception rooms and bedrooms radiate.
From here, enticing glimpses of the patio beyond, adorned with a vibrant orange Trumpet Vine, draw you further into the home.
The kitchen and sitting room are beautifully interconnected, creating a natural flow for everyday living and entertaining.
The sitting room features striking floor-to-ceiling oak windows that frame views of the patio and the surrounding gardens, flooding the space with natural light.
An exceptional feature of the property is the indoor swimming pool, which connects seamlessly to the sitting room.
This space is ideal for both relaxation and entertaining, complete with a small adjoining kitchen, perfect for preparing light lunches or poolside suppers.
Returning to the reception hall, the older wing of the house hosts a cosy snug and a home office.
A staircase from the snug leads to a charming independent bedroom with its own ensuite; ideal for guests or multigenerational living.
The main staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where three further bedrooms are arranged.
The principal suite benefits from a beautifully panelled ensuite bathroom, while a stylish interconnecting bathroom serves the remaining two bedrooms.
Outside The gardens and grounds of Wellow Mead are a standout feature, offering a serene, wildlife-friendly setting that beautifully complements the house.
Winding pathways lead through naturally established planting to secluded patios and peaceful seating areas, creating a calm and bio diverse environment that feels truly immersive.
Beyond the immediate grounds, the property extends into an area of meadow garden, adding to the sense of space, privacy, and rural character.
These areas provide wonderful scope for light cultivation, recreation, or simply enjoying the open natural landscape. The three guest suites and an additional studio are of particular interest.
These have previously supported a long running and successful B&B business for over 30 years.
These versatile buildings offer superb potential for guest use, lifestyle income, creative pursuits, or flexible multi-purpose space, subject to the relevant consents being granted —making them an exceptional asset for any buyer seeking both charm and opportunity.
