Location

Stamford is an attractive and thriving Georgian market town, proclaimed by Sir Walter Scott as the finest stone town in England.

Famed for its Georgian street scene, Barn Hill, a cobbled street in the centre of the town linking to Red Lion Square and Scotgate, is one of the best examples.

The market town of Stamford supports an active community with traditional weekly markets and great variety of restaurants, hotels and boutique shops.

Well known for its architectural landmarks, including The George of Stamford and Burghley House amongst others, Stamford also offers a great standard of both state and private education for all age groups.

This property is positioned little more than a mile from the all three Stamford Endowed School sites and Stamford railway station.

The A1 bypasses Stamford, whilst the train station has hourly services to Peterborough (connecting to London Kings Cross services) and Cambridge on the Midlands Cross Country line.
