Looking to find a new home, or just being nosey?

Then look no further than our Property of the Week feature.

This home is dates from the mid 17th century and is on the market for £525,000.

The house?

Located within the historic quarter of the country's 'finest stone town', this sublime cottage is quintessentially English and radiates serious kerb appeal. Little wonder then, that it's one of the most photographed homes in Stamford.

The stunning exterior, with its stone walls, timber frame and Welsh slate roof, teases you with anticipation, but nothing quite prepares you for the treat within. Like a dashing hero crusading against bland architecture everywhere, 6 St. Peter's Hill knocks your socks off with character.

Enjoy a flexible eating and cooking space (image courtesy of Mr and Mrs Clarke, Nationwide).

At the beating heart of this property lies the bespoke, brand new kitchen, handmade by local artisans. It contains all you could ever need for an intimate evening in, flamboyant entertainment, or family feast, including a halogen hob, dishwasher and one of our most-wanted features, an instant hot water tap!

This is also plenty of storage, cupboard space, and a breakfast bar for flexible eating.

The dining room is cosy but spacious (image courtesy of Mr and Mrs Clarke, Nationwide).

On the first floor, you'll find a further living space, which would make a perfect home office or even library. The bay window could almost have been built with a writing desk in mind. Without doubt, if you're after a spot to pen a novel, you could certainly find inspiration here.

The kitchen has all of the modern features while retaining charm (image courtesy of Mr and Mrs Clarke, Nationwide).

The generous master bedroom features a rather spectacular beam structure, and there's a fitted wardrobe and storage aplenty. The master bathroom is adjacent and promises an invigorating shower experience, with warm, fluffy towels, thanks to the heated towel rail.

There are two further bedrooms on this floor – both double – and a wc. But don't expect square walls here. Every room is blessed with period features and an inimitable quirkiness that dates back to the origins of this unique home. And, on the second floor, you'll find the fourth bedroom, which would make a very special nursery or playroom, and a recently-fitted bathroom with adjacent dressing room.

The garden?

This house has no garden, so is easy-peasy to maintain - while boasting green surroundings great for family fun, alfresco dining, as well as sunbathing and getting some fresh air. The Town Meadows are also just a leisurely couple of minutes away, giving you plenty of choice for getting out and about.

The views are as spectacular in as out (image courtesy of Mr and Mrs Clarke, Nationwide).

The area?

St Peter's Church was originally located on the opposite green space and is idyllic, with a range of mature trees - a lovely place to stretch your legs.

Stamford has a great range of pubs, cafes, shops, nigh spot and more to keep you entertained. It is close to the A1 so great for commuters and is surrounded by a host of local schools and amenities.
