This week, Savills have brought to the market a magnificent 1760s house valued at £1,500,000.

The house?

This beautiful and unlisted period stone and Collyweston house of circa 1760, occupies a prime residential address close to Stamford’s town centre and is positioned within beautiful and mature gardens of over 0.4 of an acre, within which there is private parking for several vehicles.

With a particularly striking, architecturally interesting south facing frontage, the front door opens into an inviting entrance hallway, whilst the three reception rooms line the south facing frontage of the house.

The sitting and living rooms are both elegant dual-aspect rooms have high ceilings and open fireplaces. A slate floored orangery/garden room links the sitting room to the vaulted family room, with herringbone floor and wood burner.

From the hallway, the kitchen is accessed past a library/office with fitted bookshelves, a quarry tiled cloakroom and the cellar access.

The family dining kitchen and sitting area are the core of the home, linking the original house to two former stone outbuildings. These now contain the family room and boot room, with its utility, shower room, pantry and garden entrance. The fitted kitchen has granite worktops and incorporates a Belfast sink, central island and gas fired double-oven Aga with dining and seating areas, making this a very sociable area of the home.

The kitchen and dining areas are large and light. Image credit: Savills.

At first floor level, a wide landing area provides access to three double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, and the family bathroom. The principal and second bedrooms are particularly well-proportioned.

The garden?

Externally, the south facing house sits within largely walled gardens of 0.42 acres, or thereabouts. A driveway to the east of the garden, over which there is a right of access, leads to off-road parking for several cars in the north east corner of the garden, from which the house is approached.

You pass through the lawned gardens with pathways and well stocked borders and mature fruit and mixed species trees, including a magnificent magnolia and large, prolific fig tree which is over 100 years old.

The garden is large and well established. Image credit: Savills.

The garden incorporates kitchen and herb gardens, along with various pretty seating terraces from which to track the Sun.

The area?

The historic market town of Stamford brags many shops, garden centres, churches, public houses and hotels, along with an indoor swimming pool, leisure centre and good medical facilities.

Not only benefiting from excellent primary and secondary schools near by, education in the town is exceptional, provided by the renowned Stamford Endowed Schools.

High speed trains from Peterborough (only 15 miles away) to London Kings Cross take approximately 46 minutes; ideal for the commuter. The A1 road is only 1 mile away. This development is less than 1 mile from Stamford Station.
