The house has been a much loved home for over 30 years and now requires modernisation, but offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation over two floors, which the sellers feel may be capable of reconfiguration or extension, subject to all necessary consents, along with an integral single garage and a lovely south-east facing riverside garden to the River Welland Situation Stamford is an attractive and thriving market town, proclaimed by Sir Walter Scott as the “finest stone town in England”. Stamford was the country’s first designated Conservation Area in 1967 and in 2013 was named “The best place to live in the UK” by The Sunday Times. Famed for its Georgian street scene, Stamford supports an active community. The traditional weekly market continues, whilst the town centre supports a great variety of restaurants, hotels and boutique shops. Well known for its architectural landmarks, including The George of Stamford and Burghley House, amongst others, Stamford also offers a great standard of both state and private education for all age groups. The property is positioned little more than half a mile from the three Stamford Endowed School sites, and from Stamford railway station. The A1 bypasses Stamford, whilst the town’s railway station has hourly services to Peterborough (connecting to London Kings Cross services) and Cambridge on the Midlands Cross Country Birmingham Airport to Stansted Airport line. Accommodation The front door opens into a large high ceilinged reception hallway, from which the staircase rises to the first floor accommodation, and with a cloaks, storage cupboard and WC off. The dining room has extensive fitted book cases and with large windows to the garden. It acts as the link between the single storey kitchen wing and the sitting room, located the other side of the integral garage, and accessed through a rear garden lobby. The sitting room is an impressively proportioned reception room with patio doors opening to the garden’s terrace and two front facing windows, along with an open fireplace. The kitchen wing, accessed off the dining room, adjoins the eastern garden boundary. The kitchen opens into a wider bay-windowed breakfast room, with a utility beyond. A door from the utility opens into a lean-to perspex roofed garden room from which doors open to the garden itself. At first floor level, the four bedrooms are served by two family bathrooms, with plumbing to both the front and rear of the house. Bedroom one is particularly well proportioned with large fitted wardrobes and lovely views of the garden. The large landing study area has in the past also been used as an overflow fifth bedroom. Garden The property’s south-east facing garden is largely lawned with a mature apple tree in its centre and mature shrubs along its boundaries and river’s edge. It offers surprising privacy for such a central town centre setting, with the river view framed by neighbouring buildings and roofs. A terrace adjoins the house.
