Braceborough has a thriving village hall and the nearby village of Greatford also offers a village hall and a public house. Braceborough is known for its historic church, St. Margaret’s, which dates back to the 12th century and features medieval architecture. The village is part of a quiet farming community, with a population of just a few hundred people, making it a serene spot for those seeking tranquillity in the English countryside. Nearby attractions include walks along the river and proximity to Stamford’s historic sites.
Just 7 miles away is the stone market town of Stamford which is renowned for its Georgian architecture and has a wealth of shops, leisure facilities, restaurants and the famous coaching inn, The George Hotel.

The area has excellent state and private schooling in Stamford, Peterborough and Bourne with further schooling in Oakham, Uppingham and Oundle. There is also free transport provided to children attending Bourne Grammar School that stops through Braceborough.

DESCRIPTION
Nestled in a tranquil countryside setting, this charming single-storey bungalow offers a harmonious blend of modern living and country style, all within a beautifully landscaped plot just shy of half an acre.
As you approach, the expansive gravel driveway and front garden lawn lead to the entrance, where the stunning views of St. Margaret’s Church create an inviting first impression.
Inside, the home boasts spacious, light-filled interiors with high-spec finishes, making it a perfect family retreat. Upon entering through the front porch, you are greeted by a welcoming entrance hall featuring elegant hardwood floors, setting the tone for the quality that lies within. Off the hallway, a convenient WC can be found.
To the left of the entrance hall is the heart of the home, an open-plan kitchen and dining area with views across the fields, ideal for both entertaining and family time. The kitchen, fitted with Howdens cabinetry and sleek quartz countertops, provides an abundance of storage. Its country-modern aesthetic is enhanced by engineered hardwood flooring and top-quality finishes. A large lantern skylight above the central island floods the space with natural light, while French doors open onto the garden terrace, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. The dual-aspect design allows for captivating views of the surrounding countryside, including sunsets that can be enjoyed while cooking. Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical utility room offers ample storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, and direct access to the dining terrace.
Further along the hallway is a tranquil study with views over the driveway, ideal for working from home.
A large living room follows, complete with a triple-aspect design and a stone-surround open fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings. French doors lead out to a sun-drenched terrace, offering a peaceful retreat and additional outdoor space. A versatile reception room at the end of the hallway could serve as a guest bedroom, playroom, or additional living area, with beautiful dual-aspect views of the garden.
To the right of the entrance hall, are four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal suite offers ample storage, dual-aspect views of the side garden and driveway. The views extend towards St. Margaret’s Church, adding a touch of serenity to the space. This bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room complete with a stylish vanity unit. The second bedroom, generous in size, features a fitted double wardrobe, ensuring plenty of storage, while the third bedroom benefits from spectacular countryside views and abundant natural light. The fourth double bedroom overlooks the garden and the scenic landscape beyond.

The property’s outdoor space is equally impressive, with beautiful gardens that wrap around the bungalow, planted with mature fruit trees, including apple and plum varieties. The south-facing aspect ensures plenty of sunshine, with two separate dining terraces offering the perfect settings for alfresco dining or simply relaxing. The larger terrace is ideal for entertaining, while the smaller patio provides a tranquil spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A large gravel driveway offers ample parking and is surrounded by a front lawn area.
A double garage offers additional storage and includes side-door access. Plans have been drawn up for the potential to add a second storey above the garage (subject to planning permission), which can be provided upon request.
