*** NO ONWARD CHAIN *** DOUBLE GARAGE & OFF ROAD PARKING **REQUIRES UPDATING *** Located just moments from Stamford's town centre, Stamford Schools, and the train station, this four-bedroom family home in need of some updating and enjoys an elevated position, offering scenic views to both the front and rear. From the front, you can look out across Water Furlong, leading to the tranquil Stamford Meadows, while the rear offers a peaceful outlook over the allotment gardens. Having been lovingly cared for by the current owners since 1978, this home has been extended to provide generous living spaces ideal for modern family life.
The ground floor extension creates a wonderful flow throughout the home, with four reception rooms and a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. Outside, the gardens have been carefully planted with a variety of flowers and shrubs, while the rear garden provides a flat expanse of lawn with two seating areas perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Parking is available on the street, but the property also features private parking for two vehicles at the rear, along with a detached double garage, accessible via a private lane off Roman Bank.
From Tinwell Road, you are welcomed through an iron gate into a front garden designed in tiers across three levels, with wide steps leading up to a central gravelled area. Mature shrubs and trees offer privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful atmosphere. To one side, a secure gate leads to the rear garden and provides convenient access to the kitchen.
The front door opens into a spacious entrance porch, leading into a light-filled central hallway. The original open-tread staircase rises to the first floor, with doors opening to two reception rooms, the kitchen, and a useful ground-floor WC fitted with a two-piece suite. To one side of the home is a cosy snug or home office, featuring large windows to two aspects, while on the opposite side, the generous living room offers plenty of space for family gatherings. With a large front window and a stone fireplace, this room is both bright and inviting. From the living room, double doors lead into the extended dining room, which boasts patio doors opening to the rear garden and a connecting door into the breakfast room. The kitchen is easily accessible from here and offers a spacious layout with plenty of work surface space and fitted units. The kitchen features integrated appliances, including a fridge/freezer and a Neff Circotherm double oven, while a utility area off the kitchen provides room for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher. A large window looks out over the rear garden. The adjoining conservatory offers a quiet space to relax and enjoy the garden view. Double doors lead from the conservatory into the garden.
Upstairs, the property provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom is equipped with a three-piece suite. There is also an airing cupboard, and access to a large, partly boarded loft with an electric light and pull-down ladder, offering great potential for additional storage or conversion.
At the rear of the property, the garden is a real highlight, providing a private, level space with landscaped beds, surrounding a central lawn. A further patio seating area sits at the far end of the garden, next to the detached double garage, with gated access leading to the lane. The garage features an electric up-and-over door (with two remote fobs), and there�s power and lighting connected. Off the lane, a parking area is large enough to accommodate two vehicles with potential for more.
This wonderful family home, offering both space and privacy in a sought-after location, is a rare find. We recommend an early viewing to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
