A distinguished Grade II listed Georgian townhouse, with private courtyard garden, on one of Stamford’s most iconic and celebrated Georgian streets.
Occupying a distinguished position on Barn Hill, one of Stamford’s most admired addresses and iconic Georgian street scenes, this Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse represents an outstanding example of 18th-century English town architecture.
Constructed in ashlar limestone beneath a Collyweston slate roof, the elegant façade is enriched with rusticated quoins, stone banding and tall sash windows, epitomising the classical refinement for which Stamford is celebrated.
Extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft, the house offers five bedrooms and a sequence of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, combining architectural gravitas with an inviting, liveable atmosphere. An exceptional range of original details has been carefully preserved, including timber panelling, carved stone fireplace surrounds and Minton tiled flooring, complemented by a considered decorative palette and textiles by Ben Pentreath and Sophie Coryndon.
Inside
The front door, framed by an Adam-style round-headed doorcase with carved bell drops and wheat swags, opens into a central hallway where original Minton tiles set the tone.
To the front, a double-aspect library enjoys views over Barn Hill through sash windows with original shutters, and features a finely carved stone fireplace and bespoke shelving. The kitchen lies within the oldest part of the house and is rich with exposed stonework and timber detailing, offering a characterful yet practical heart to the home. A separate scullery and a sitting/garden room provide valuable ancillary space, with access, and strong visual connection, to the garden.
The principal staircase leads to a gracious first-floor drawing room with elevated views across the historic streetscape and a wood-burning stove within its original fireplace. Three bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors, including a principal bedroom with views over Stamford’s landmark spires, together with further guest bedrooms and well-appointed bath and shower rooms. A secondary staircase, rising from the sitting room, serves two additional first floor double bedrooms to the rear, offering flexibility for home working or guest accommodation.
Outside
To the rear, a charming, stone flagged, walled garden provides a private and romantic outdoor retreat, with mature planting, climbing roses, hydrangea and magnolia creating colour, structure and scent throughout the seasons.
A garage, also on Barn Hill, may be available by separate negotiation.
