In the very heart of the historic, picturesque, market town of Stamford, renowned for its beautiful Georgian architecture with more than six hundred listed buildings in its midst and voted one of the best places to live in the country, if not in Europe, stands a group of fine and handsome townhouses recently built to exacting standards that provide luxurious accommodation of the highest calibre. Ancaster House, one of these exquisite four bedroomed properties, is set back away from the street, accommodation laid over three floors with a separate double garage providing further living space above. Standing majestically alongside its neighbour, and built in local mellow yellow Stamford brick and Clipsham limestone under a blue slate roof studded with a row of four dormer windows, the facade is an impressive sight. Approached from the street up a tarmac drive
and through a pair of metal gates, you first pass the attractive double garage with its matching dormers. Attention to detail on these buildings inside and out is second to none, something rarely achieved with modern homes of today, each one carefully designed to differ from its counterpart creating architectural interest and a uniqueness. The ground floor of Ancaster House is primarily made up of two spacious reception rooms: a commodious, almost square sitting room with a large bay to the front, and a simple but stylish stone fireplace and surround fitted with a log-burning stove, and an almost twenty-six foot long kitchen diner with folding-sliding doors onto the rear terrace. A study is also to the front, whilst a downstairs lavatory, a utility room and some built in storage cupboards lead off the entrance hall.
The high ceilings are impressive, so too the deep, sculpted cornicing. The subtle, neutral colour scheme enhances the sense of light, space and calm. Downstairs, wide, hardwood, panelled doors have been given a limed finish adding to this softness and lending an informality to the otherwise grand feel. The bespoke Shaker style units in the kitchen provide a considerable amount of storage, and even incorporate an L-shaped bench as seating around the owner’s kitchen table. Being able to open the folding-sliding doors onto the terrace means that living and entertaining in summer is a delight. Here, the owner’s garden furniture – dining table and chairs as well as large comfy seating – sit very happily within the sunny and sheltered, split level terrace that makes up the majority of the property’s garden. From the entrance hall with its dado height panelling and curving walls complementing the sleek, sinuous handrail of the staircase you ascend to the first
floor where you find three of the four double bedrooms, one extremely large with a particularly spacious and luxurious, contemporary en suite. The family bathroom nestles in between the back bedrooms, also with a bath and separate shower. Bathrooms boast high quality materials and fittings from Porcelanosa with wall and floor tiles chosen for their high tech properties and innovative design. The top floor is a statement of sheer luxury in living. The decadent master suite with four dormers to the front and a row of rooflights to the back, has a central, mirrored, dividing wall behind a modern free-standing bath, beyond which are twin showers, twin basins, and a separate lavatory. Cutting edge design is indicated by plush carpet combined with curving stretches of smooth floor tiles in both areas. A combination of contemporary styling and elegant Georgian features in the house’s immaculately finished interior has been produced with great expertise and aplomb.

Ancaster House is perfectly situated for Stamford Endowed Schools, and extremely close to the town’s many shops and restaurants. Other excellent schools are in the area, both state and independent such as Uppingham, Oundle and Oakham. The famous George Hotel coaching inn is a stone’s throw away beside the river, with Stamford train station providing fast rail links to London just a short distance beyond.
The A1 is only minutes away for good road access to the South and the North. Stamford has a thriving Arts Centre for a wide variety of cultural entertainment, and beautiful Rutland Water is just 8 miles to the West for many outdoor sports and activities.
