2 bed detached house for sale

Casterton Road, Stamford, Lincolnshire PE9

A striking Grade II listed townhouse in the very heart of Stamford, offering flexible three-bedroom accommodation, a vaulted kitchen dining room, all within moments of the town’s amenities.

Description
The Clock House is a striking Grade II listed mid-19th century townhouse, occupying a prominent and highly convenient position in the very heart of Stamford. Believed to have been designed by the noted Stamford architect George Glover, the property is an elegant and instantly recognisable landmark, perfectly placed for immediate access to the town’s celebrated range of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, and amenities.

Constructed in coursed local stone beneath a traditional stone slate roof, the house displays a wealth of architectural detail typical of the period. Mullioned windows with hood moulds punctuate the elevations, while the central gable is adorned with the clock, believed not to be the original, from which the property takes its name, lending both charm and historic presence. The house sits comfortably within the historic streetscape, yet offers light-filled, adaptable accommodation well suited to modern living.

The internal accommodation is arranged over two storeys and is both flexible and well balanced. On the ground floor, the layout offers the option of a third bedroom with en suite facilities, or alternatively an ideal home office or playroom, positioned separately from the principal living areas. This versatility allows the house to adapt easily to a range of lifestyle requirements, appealing equally to professional couples, families or downsizers seeking character without compromise. The property has also been successfully used as a holiday rental, reflecting both its flexible accommodation and its highly sought-after central location.

At the heart of the home lies the impressive kitchen dining room, a wonderfully light and inviting space enhanced by a vaulted ceiling and high-level vaulted windows which flood the room with natural light. Exposed painted brickwork adds texture and warmth, complementing the contemporary yet sympathetic finish. Designed as the true hub of the house, the room provides generous space for both dining and informal seating, with a peninsula island offering additional preparation space and relaxed dining. Integrated appliances include double ovens, an induction hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and washer dryer, ensuring both style and practicality.

The sitting room centres around a focal fireplace, creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyday living and entertaining. Adjacent is a further reception room, equally suited as a ground-floor bedroom if required, and benefiting from an en suite shower room and built-in storage.

The first floor is devoted to two generously proportioned bedrooms, each similar in size and enjoying an abundance of natural light from double-aspect windows. Both bedrooms benefit from en suite shower rooms and built-in wardrobes, providing well-appointed and private accommodation ideal for guests or family members alike.

Externally, the property is approached via a paved front garden enclosed by traditional iron railings, with steps leading to the main entrance and enhancing the home’s period charm. To the rear, accessed from the kitchen, is a small, paved patio providing an attractive alfresco area, ideal for morning coffee or relaxed outdoor dining in a discreet and sheltered setting.

Rarely does a property of such architectural interest, history and adaptability become available in so central a location. The Clock House offers a unique opportunity to acquire a distinguished Stamford home that blends period elegance with modern comfort in one of Lincolnshire’s most sought-after market towns.
