Situation:

Glinton is a village brimming with history, with evidence of field systems dating all the way back to the Iron Age. At the time of the Domesday Book, Glinton land was mostly owned by Peterborough Abbey and by 1291, Glinton was one of the Abbey’s richest manors. Traces of medieval ridge and furrow field systems can be spotted to the north of the village. Architecturally, the spire of St Benedict’s church is considered one of the finest needle spires in England.

Glinton is tucked mid-way between Peterborough and Stamford with a real sense of community. It has a chemist and a post office/general store and there is a family-run public house, The Blue Bell, which is highly thought of. The village hall holds a wide range of regular activities from clubs such as Glinton Tots to Whist and Bingo nights and the Glinton Art Group.

There are two schools in the village itself, the Church of England primary school, Peakirk cum Glinton, and the secondary school, the Arthur Mellows Village College. There is also excellent state and private schooling in the local area at Uffington, Stamford, Bourne, Peterborough and Oundle.

Glinton lies just off the A15, connecting north-south, and the A47 connecting east-west is approximately 3.5 miles south giving further access to the wider road network. Glinton is also roughly 5.5 miles north of the Cathedral City of Peterborough, which has comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities and a main line rail station with high-speed trains to London King’s Cross whilst Stamford offers direct train connections to Cambridge, Stansted Airport and Birmingham New Street.

Leisure pursuits including golf at Burghley Park, Luffenham Heath and Maxey are close by. Rutland Water with its nature reserve, cycle routes, water sports and trout fishing is to the west. The Hills and Hollows Nature Reserved at Barnack is approx. 6.5 miles west and Tallington Lakes is a similar distance north. Ferry Meadows is approximately 9 miles south with an array of activities from open water swimming to riding the Ferry Meadows Railway.

Description:

6 High Street, Glinton nestles within the conservation area of the village. Built of stone under a Collyweston slate roof, the period property displays nods to its historical origin as a stable barn, with its brick archways believed to be where carriages would be drawn through.

On entering the property, to the right-hand side is the triple aspect sitting room with stone surround fireplace and working open fire. Double doors lead out onto the dining terrace.

Moving through the property there is a study/fourth bedroom and ground floor WC. On entering the kitchen-diner there is access to the garden on the right-hand side. The kitchen cabinetry is of shaker style and there is a range master cooker, built-in dishwasher and built-in fridge-freezer. There is also a further larder.

The garden room enjoys a southerly aspect and French doors open onto the formal lawn.

A utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine, and a workshop, with external access, completes the ground floor accommodation.

Rising to the first floor, to the right is the principal bedroom, enjoying dual aspect, with built-in wardrobes. To the left is a single bedroom and further along is a double bedroom which has wooden floors and bespoke wooden shutters.

Rounding the corner, past a large linen cupboard and loft access, is the family bathroom with roll top bath, complete with claw feet, and over head shower.

Moving further through the east of the property is a flexible area of accommodation currently divided into an office space and a games room, with feature beams and original wooden door. This space has the potential to be converted into further bedrooms, subject to planning permission.

Outside:

6 High Street, draped in beautiful wisteria in the summer months, has two parking spaces on the shared driveway and access to a single garage. There is also an electric car charging point.

A side gate opens into the very private, south-facing, walled garden. The dining terrace and walled garden are bordered by beds with an array of mature shrubs. There is a further seating area beneath a pergola, and a shed to the corner of the garden provides further storage. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn.
