This week, King West have reduced this incredible home, now on the market for £1,350,000 in St Mary's Street.
The house?
On entering 28 St. Mary’s Street, the reception hall, with beautiful flagstone flooring and paneled walls, draws you into the property. The Drawing room overlooks the street, the view of which comprises striking period property. A beautiful fireplace resides in the corner of the room with the staircase to the first floor, opposite.
Adjacent to this elegant reception room is the sitting room with a delightful, curved window enjoying views across the garden and the Stamford roof line beyond. The room also boasts a handsome fireplace and a fine display of 19th century wooden paneling, believed to have been recycled when it was removed from the Church.
Moving through to the rear of the property, stairs lead down to a useful cellar, and there is a convenient ground floor WC, opposite which is a door to the garden terrace.
Through double doors enclosed in an arched stone doorway, is the dual aspect breakfast-kitchen, light and bright it has two sets of double doors onto the dining terrace, ideal for entertaining. Reclaimed from a church stone altar, the surround and mantel create a dramatic focal point housing the range cooker. Off the kitchen is a pantry-utility, completing the ground floor.
Alighting the stairs to the first floor, to the west, the Principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, and a feature fireplace. It also enjoys magnificent views across Stamford and the garden below.
The second bedroom also displays exposed beams amidst a vaulted ceiling, and a feature fireplace. A further two bedrooms, and beautifully renovated shower room complete the first floor.
A cleverly designed and stylishly engineered bathroom occupies what was a large loft space, found up a second and separate set of stairs.
The garden?
Accessed from either the drawing room, rear hall or kitchen, St. Mary’s Rectory has a spectacular garden of an unusually large size for a property in such a prominent location. Extremely private, the walled garden is south facing offering a sun-soaked haven of tranquillity and calm from the hustle and bustle of Stamford’s vibrant and lively town centre on the front doorstep.
A delightful dining terrace, encircled by an array of climbers, leads down to a formal lawn, the edges of which are softened with mature borders and a varied, seasonal planting scheme.
A focus is given to the garden by way of the raised box hedging and rose arbour, a pathway through which leads to a seating area looking back up the garden to the impressive period façade of St. Mary’s Rectory.
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.
