About this property
Just moments from the very heart of Stamford, with all that this much loved Georgian market town has to offer quite literally on the doorstep, 2 Casterton Road is an elegant Arts and Crafts home dating from 1908. Occupying an elevated position, this home combines a wonderful sense of history and character with thoughtfully considered contemporary enhancements, together with the rare advantages of a recently landscaped tiered walled garden and a newly constructed double garage.
The house retains a wealth of original features synonymous with this much loved architectural period and has been thoughtfully renovated and beautifully enhanced over the past 26 years by the present owners. In keeping with the original character of the property, the windows, rear door and French doors have been replaced with bespoke hardwood double-glazed units, meticulously crafted by the renowned George Barnsdale to replicate the original installations to an exacting standard and are fensa certified. The result is a home which perfectly balances the character and craftsmanship of its Arts and Crafts origins with the comfort and convenience of modern living.
Welcome Home
The approach is particularly impressive, with broad stone steps leading to the original canopied entrance, complete with cast iron fretwork, columns and the original front door with etched glazing. Inside, the reception hall immediately sets the tone, with its generous ceiling height and original Arts and Crafts redwood cedar strung staircase creating a wonderful first impression.
To the right, the elegant sitting room is a beautifully proportioned space, featuring a large square bay window overlooking the leafy street scene towards Stamford. The original intricate plaster relief cornicing and decorative ceiling rose sit beautifully against the polished walnut flooring, which adds real warmth and depth, while a Chesney’s sandstone and pewter fireplace provides an attractive focal point which anchors the entire room.
Retracing our steps to the hallway and moving beyond the staircase, we reach the heart of the home: An exceptional kitchen, dining and living space designed by ngi Interior Architecture. This beautifully considered space has been created with both entertaining and everyday family life in mind. There is ample space for a generous dining table alongside comfortable informal seating, while glazed French doors provide a seamless connection to the terrace and gardens beyond.
The bespoke kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, with a peninsular island providing an excellent preparation area and a generous run of beautifully crafted cabinetry. A combination of integrated Gaggenau and Miele appliances, quartz work surfaces and a Quooker tap ensure the kitchen is as practical as it is impressive. Beyond the main kitchen is a further comfortable seating area, complemented by bespoke fitted bookshelves, creating a space in which to relax and unwind.
A thoughtfully arranged utility/laundry room sits adjacent, with extensive wall and floor cabinetry, an integrated Miele fridge, a useful full-height cupboard, space for white goods and direct access outside. A contemporary cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin completes the ground floor.
First Floor
The original staircase rises to the first floor, where three generous bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is a light and elegant room, with the broad bay window creating a wonderful sense of space and drawing in natural light. The original fireplace provides a charming focal point, while there is ample room for a range of bedroom furniture.
The second double bedroom has an attractive angled window and is currently arranged as a dressing room, incorporating a range of freestanding full-height wardrobes, but could easily be reconfigured to suit individual requirements.
The third bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is a bright, versatile space currently used as both a guest bedroom and study.
The luxurious family bathroom has been designed as a calm and sophisticated sanctuary, with matt porcelain wall and floor tiling providing a seamless backdrop to a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower with rain head, WC and superb vanity unit with inset basin, storage, backlit mirror and mood lighting.
A particularly useful feature is the large loft, which is currently boarded and accessed from the landing. Offering excellent additional storage and potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Further details are available from the selling agent.
Step Outside
To the rear, the recently landscaped, tiered and walled garden is a particular highlight. Beautifully designed to create a series of inviting spaces, it incorporates a number of seating areas, raised beds and attractive planting, resulting in a private and wonderfully established setting in which to relax and entertain. Carefully considered external lighting illuminates the central pathway and highlights key features within the planting scheme, creating an inviting atmosphere into the evening.
A recently constructed double garage, accessed from the lane to the rear, provides much-coveted off-road parking and excellent practical space. It benefits from power, lighting, personal access from the garden and an electrically operated roller door, making it a valuable addition to this highly desirable home.
