House For Sale £575,000
31 Scotgate, Stamford, PE9

Combining characterful, Victorian, stone-built charm with comforting contemporary refurbishments,
welcome to The Old Stable House, a charming Grade II listed home in the heart of Stamford.

A HOME WITH PRESTIGE

An ornate stone archway heralds a grand arrival at the home. Nestled along Scotgate, this home’s previous incarnation was as both a stable house and shop. Make your way inside, through the handsome front door, to be instantly greeted by high ceilings, ornate, fluted architraves, and herringbone parquet flooring.

FEAST YOUR EYES

A contemporary palette of grey, white, and blue provides a glimpse of the exquisite programme of renovation this home has undergone. Ahead, discover the impressive, newly fitted kitchen, where vertical radiators, glass pendant lights and a smooth, white quartz-topped central island are the hallmarks of modernity. Stylish indigo blue, Shaker-style cabinetry – housing a plethora of appliances - extends floor to ceiling, adding a flourish of drama to the chic finish of the room, whilst Farrow & Ball Calamine harmonises with the lighting. Light pours in through the large sash window, allowing a glimpse of the south-facing courtyard garden. Flowing effortlessly on from the kitchen is an inviting snug, dressed in blush pink and illuminated by natural daylight flowing in through the window. Next, discover a laundry room with stable door to the courtyard and a handy guest cloakroom.

DINE IN STYLE

Entertain your guests in style in the elegant dining room. Dressed in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue, crisp white plantation shutters frame the enormous sash window to the front. Flowing seamlessly off from the kitchen, this atmospheric room features a ceiling rose and traditional cornicing with a deep, arched alcove.

RELAX AND UNWIND

Return to the entrance hallway and retire to the sumptuously-sized sitting room. Again decorated in dramatic inky tones, plantation shutters are fitted to a large sash window which fills the room with light. Herringbone parquet flooring underfoot, a ceiling rose and elegant cornicing to the high ceiling add character alongside a wood-burning stove, inset in the chimney breast beneath a red brick lintel.

REFRESH AND UNWIND

The Old Stable House features three double bedrooms, with the first being tucked away to a tranquil basement level; stone steps from the hallway lead to this lower level where you’ll find a large bedroom naturally illuminated from the pavement windows above, with space to work from home, and an en suite shower room. Ascending the stairs to the first-floor landing, stylish sanctuary awaits within the next two double bedrooms; one featuring a run of fitted wardrobes and a stylish wet room.

BOUTIQUE RETREAT

The final bedroom echoes the same restful tones with blush pink, white and blue motifs. A decorative fireplace adds original period charm along with a sash window to the front. Thoughtfully designed as a Jack and Jill to the family bathroom, the sumptuous, recently fitted bathroom lies ahead. With chevron flooring underfoot, the classic character continues with a luxurious, freestanding bathtub supplemented with a large, walk-in shower, double wash basin with vanity unit and lavatory.

SUNNY RETREAT

Secluded and enclosed, the sunny, south-facing, walled courtyard creates the perfect spot to host summer barbeques with friends and lazy weekend breakfasts sipping freshly brewed coffee and buttery croissants. A side gate offers swift entry with muddy boots and paws after a walk around the town and surrounding countryside.
