This is an excellent family house standing in large gardens in excess of 1/3 acre.  Built in the early 1930's, the present owners are only the third family to occupy the house.  The accommodation includes a generous entrance hall, a nicely proportioned lounge and dining room both with open aspect to front, study, kitchen, cloakroom/wc and scullery.  A gently rising Canadian pine staircase leads to an open landing with 4 bedrooms, bathroom, separate wc and boxroom off.  The 3 main bedrooms are at the front and enjoy an excellent view.  Above is a spacious attic with ladder access, light and part boarded giving possible scope for conversion (subject to Local Authority approval).  Outside the spacious gardens are ideal for bringing up a family with extensive lawns, fruit trees, Summer House, arbour, greenhouse, tool shed, etc.  There is a detached Garage block with adjoining utility room and workshop, a useful area with scope for conversion to an annexe if required (subject to Local Authority approval).  Vehicle access is from Tinwell Road but there is also a wide double gated access from Tinwell Road Lane at the rear.  In all this is an excellent family home in one of Stamford's best residential areas.

LOCATION:  Tinwell Road is a prime residential area on the west side of Stamford only a short walk from the town centre and with easy access to the A1.  It comprises an interesting mixture of early to mid twentieth century houses of character and is an area which is highly sought after for family occupation and enjoys an excellent open aspect to the front.   

 

AMENITIES:  The property is close to the town centre which provides a wide range of shops and services.  There are also excellent schools in Stamford, an Arts Centre and Theatre and numerous good restaurants and cafes. Peterborough is within easy reach by road and has a frequent commuter rail link to London Kings Cross (50 mins). Rutland Water is only 4 miles away and offers a wide range of leisure facilities and there are several good golf courses nearby.
