Offered for sale for the first time in approximately a century, this Grade II listed home in the heart of Belton offers a rare chance to own a storied piece of village history. Formerly part of the original village store and bakery at 10 & 12 Long Street, the property dates back over 200 years, offering a unique glimpse into the village's rich heritage. It has been respectfully divided and now stands as a handsome double-fronted, four-bedroom semi-detached residence, rich in character and charm.
Set across six unique levels, the home reveals its past through original exposed wooden beams, deep-set windows, and a layout shaped by time. These historic features sit comfortably alongside a series of thoughtful modern touches, creating a home that feels as easy to live in as it is full of character.
Inside, the living spaces are well arranged, with generous proportions and a natural flow from level to level. The bedrooms are filled with light and subtle period detail, with the modern kitchen including fitted appliances having its own built in pantry, in addition providing access to the cellar below offers practical storage or the chance to be repurposed.
To the rear, set slightly lower than the main house, are the two original stables and garage, forming part of the main structure and echoing the property’s rural heritage. With direct access to the expansive garden, this setup offers exciting potential for equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents. The garden itself stretches to just under an acre, a long and tranquil space that leads gently to a peaceful brook at the far boundary with a gate at the bottom accessing a public footpath to explore the fields beyond.
A carport-style area beyond the stables provides ample parking, with room for multiple vehicles, including a motorhome or horse trailer, further enhancing the property’s versatility.
This is more than a home, it is a rare opportunity to own part of Belton’s history, whether you’re drawn by its history, its charm, or its potential for countryside living with a purpose.
Timeless, practical and quietly extraordinary, own a true piece of Belton!
