St Peters Hill, Peterborough PE9


Description
Dating from the mid 17th century and located within the historic quarter of the country’s ‘finest stone town’ this sublime cottage is quintessentially English and radiates serious kerb appeal. Little wonder then, that it’s one of the most photographed homes in Stamford. Gorgeous period features have been lovingly restored and sympathetically updated, blending the old with the new, creating a truly charming home. It’s a mere hop, skip and a jump to everything Stamford has to offer, yet enjoys a peaceful outlook onto the green, surrounded by mature trees. Nestled in a conservation area, you’d be hard pressed to find a more delightful position.

The stunning exterior, with its stone walls, timber frame and Welsh slate roof, teases you with anticipation, but nothing quite prepares you for the treat within. Like a dashing hero crusading against bland architecture everywhere, 6 St. Peter’s Hill knocks your socks off with character. Boy, does this place have soul.

An inglenook fireplace welcomes you in to the cosy lounge from the cold outside. Toast marshmallows on the wood burning stove and warm your hands around steaming mugs of cocoa, kick off your shoes and relax. A Farrow & Ball colour palette has been stylishly used throughout and sets the tone.

Enjoy supper with friends and family in the spacious dining room, with the green as your backdrop. Or read in the bay window by day. Original, exposed stonework, panelled walls and oh-so-quirky timber beams flow throughout the home.

At its beating heart lies the bespoke, brand new kitchen. Handmade by local artisans, it cleverly combines contemporary chic in a period setting. There’s all you could ever need for an intimate evening in or flamboyant entertaining, including a halogen hob, dishwasher and one of our most-wanted features, an instant hot water tap! You also have oodles of cupboard space and storage for all utility essentials. We love the breakfast bar with its mood lighting so you can set the atmosphere, no matter what the occasion, and the staircase is one of the prettiest we’ve seen.

On the first floor, you’ll find a further living space, which would make a perfect home office or even library. The bay window could almost have been built with a writing desk in mind. Without doubt, if you’re after a spot to pen a novel, you could certainly find inspiration here.

The generous master bedroom features a rather spectacular beam structure, and there’s a fitted wardrobe and storage aplenty. The master bathroom is adjacent and promises an invigorating shower experience, with warm, fluffy towels, thanks to the heated towel rail.

Little wonder then, that it’s one of the most photographed homes in Stamford. There are two further bedrooms on this floor – both double – and a wc. But don’t expect square walls here. Every room is blessed with period features and an inimitable quirkiness that dates back to the origins of this unique home. And, on the second floor, you’ll find the fourth bedroom, which would make a very special nursery or playroom, and a recently-fitted bathroom with adjacent dressing room.

With the green just opposite, you can enjoy al fresco hobbies at any time. St Peter’s Church was originally located here and it’s idyllic with a range of mature trees; a lovely place to stretch legs - and paws! The Town Meadows are also just a leisurely couple of minutes away
