The Dovecote, Casewick, Stamford, Lincolnshire, PE9

A beautifully converted Grade II listed dovecote in a conservation area, within easy reach of Stamford.

Description

A beautiful stone single storey two bedroom, two bath/shower room cottage with the addition of a converted two storey one bedroom Grade II listed Dovecote. This unusual combination offers three bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, or a two-bedroom cottage and single bedroom Dovecote for letting purposes, in the most beautiful setting in the grounds of Casewick Hall.

The main residence is the long shed of the former Casewick estate and dates from the 1800s and was converted into a private residence in 2006 and was totally refurbished in 2019. It offers significant charm and character positioned with generous west facing private gardens with a central family dining kitchen and en suite bath/shower rooms at either wing.
Forming part of the residence, but detached from the cottage within the garden, the 18th century Dovecote is a beautiful stone under slate conversion from 2017, with ground floor kitchen and shower room and retains some of the original pigeon nesting boxes. Upstairs is the lovely bedroom with views out three sides and with a glazed ceiling giving a magnificent sight up to the massive oak timbers and glazed lantern at the top.

The property has a fabulous sense of fun and humour throughout. Both the cottage and The Dovecote are double glazed and have electric under floor heating coupled with character and history.

The Cedar Garden located across the driveway is a two acre enclosed private garden for the exclusive use of the residents of Casewick and is bounded by hedgerows with shrubs and attractive deciduous trees including a fabulous ancient cedar. The residents of Casewick also have full access to the wonderful Park area as you approach Casewick Hall, of around 5 hectares where the local farmer has permission to graze his sheep for several months of the year. Both the Cedar Garden and Casewick Park are communally held by the residents of Casewick.

A management charge of between £300 - £500pa covers the maintenance of these common parts.
