A striking Georgian townhouse with a deceptive depth, walled garden and garage, on Barn Hill, Stamford's foremost Georgian street, in the centre of the town

Description

A beautiful Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse, which retains the grace and proportions of its era, and is offered to the market for the first time in over 25 years. The house offers elegant accommodation over three floors, with cellar, walled garden and garaging, within sight but a little removed from the house.

Barn Hill is one of Stamford’s most attractive Georgian street scenes and this elegant period property is a fine late 17th century house, which is mentioned in Pevsner’s architectural guide, The Buildings of England Lincolnshire.

Accommodation
The front door opens into a wide, panelled reception hallway. The elegant dining and sitting rooms line the frontage of the house, each with high ceilings, elegant cornice and panelling, marble fireplaces and shuttered Georgian windows, with window seats. The sitting room has a wood burning stove and a partially glazed rear door, beneath a fanlight, to the garden.

The hallway leads past the staircase and a cloakroom to the stone flagged farmhouse kitchen, a spacious and symmetrical room with a double oven Aga, solid wooden suite and exterior garden door, with a utility room alongside.

On the first floor, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. Bedroom one has an en suite shower room, whilst bedroom two has a Jack & Jill en suite, which doubles as the family bathroom, with a full suite incorporating bath and separate shower. Bedroom three is currently an elegant dual-aspect drawing room, with shuttered windows and marble fireplace.

Rising to the second floor there is a half landing study, with views over the garden, and two further double bedrooms served by a second full suite family bathroom.

Outside
The walled garden is accessed from the kitchen and sitting room and is fully enclosed, abutting the adjoining Trinity Methodist Church. A stone flagged terrace leads from the house, passing an L-shaped stone workshop/garden outbuilding that adjoins the kitchen within the garden, en route to the central lawn, around which gravelled pathways, with well stocked borders, lead to a raised seating terrace overlooking an ornamental pond at the far end of the garden. The garage is located at the far end of the Methodist church’s car park, accessed from North Street.

Location

Stamford is an attractive and thriving Georgian market town, proclaimed by Sir Walter Scott as the finest stone town in England.

Famed for its Georgian street scene, Barn Hill, a cobbled street in the centre of the town linking to Red Lion Square and Scotgate, is one of the best examples.

The market town of Stamford supports an active community with traditional weekly markets and 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.

This property is positioned little more than a mile from the all three Stamford Endowed School sites and Stamford railway station.

The A1 bypasses Stamford, whilst the train station has hourly services to Peterborough (connecting to London Kings Cross services) and Cambridge on the Midlands Cross Country line.
