HUNT'S BREWERY, WATER STREET Stamford, PE9 2NJ HUNT'S BREWERY, WATER STREET Stamford, PE9 2NJ Hunts Brewery is a unique and very beautiful building situated in the highly desirable location of Water Street just a few minutes’ walk from The George Hotel, , the train station and all the wonderful amenities that Stamford has to offer.

This wonderful unlisted building is built of coursed Limestone under a fully refurbished Collyweston roof. Charming views to the front of the building look out over the River Welland and the Albert Bridge built in 1881.

The building was operated as a Malthouse from 1814 and was originally known as Stamford New Brewery. Messer’s Hunt were thought to have been Brewers, Carriers and Maltsters and ran the business until the building was acquired by Mowbrays of Grantham in 1927 but closed later that same year.

In c.1985 The property was acquired by Treasured Heritage, who restored and converted the property as a residential dwelling. Today, Hunt's Brewery is a fine home offering beautifully proportioned accommodation, packed with wonderful period features, a private courtyard garden, a basement below the car‑port offering utility and workshop space and private off‑road parking/driveway area.

The current vendors have carried out extensive works including the refurbishment of the entire Collyweston slate roof, bespoke installation of hardwood Gothic‑style sealed‑unit windows, fully insulated wooden flooring on the ground floor, plus vaulting the roof space to expose the fabulous timbers and create a mezzanine floor space. Externally the vendors have built a useful basement utility room and workshop below a private 2/3 car parking area.

Ground Floor A gated porch opens to an impressive, yet welcoming reception hall with cloakroom off. Flagstone flooring runs throughout the hallway which has a wide staircase leading to the first floor.

The breakfast kitchen has a quarry tiled floor and painted bespoke oak wall and floor standing cabinets which echo features from the building itself. A four oven Gas Aga provides a lovely focal point to the room, which also offers an in‑built dishwasher and fridge. There is an additional Neff gas hob to complement the Aga, over which is a tiled splash back and extractor hood. Gothic‑style French doors provide access to the rear of the property and the external utility room. Directly off the kitchen is a comfortable snug, ideal for everyday living. This room can be opened up via full‑height concertina doors to the formal dining room/sitting room. This gives great flexibility for larger parties or gatherings and very adaptable living space.

Towards the rear of the Hallway, French doors open to the bright and spacious sitting room and dining room. There are some fabulous features such as both Oculus and Gothic‑style windows, oak flooring and cast pillars.

A wide archway opens to an Orangery. This charming space offers a contemporary wood burning stove, oak flooring and access to the sheltered walled courtyard garden area. First Floor A wide staircase rises to a first floor galleried landing with library area. Floor‑to‑ceiling bespoke shelving provides extensive space for books and a pleasant place in which to sit and read while looking out over the River Welland to the front.

The peaceful Principle Suite is dual aspect and offers extensive in‑built wardrobe space and a generous en‑ suite bathroom with panelled bath, separate shower, wc and wash hand basin. Next door is another bedroom with a staircase leading to a mezzanine area currently used as a home office/study.

The mezzanine area is galleried allowing fabulous views through the stairwell to the ground floor.

Two further bedrooms sit either side of the recently refitted bathroom, housing a large walk‑in shower, wc, wash hand basin and in‑built storage/airing cupboard. Grounds & Gardens To the rear of the property is a wide pathway leading to a walled courtyard garden with raised terrace area, pergola and BBQ space. Mature shrubs including Wisteria and Clematis cover the walls and the pergola, making a wonderful place in which to sit and relax. A retractable awning sits on the south facing wall to provide shelter from the sun on very hot days.
