EPC Rating: B
A Warm Welcome
Indoors, classic stone symmetry is balanced by a more modern aesthetic, with lighttoned wood flooring cohesively running throughout the entrance hallway and through beyond the glazed double doors into the sitting room on the left. Here, the warmth from the underfloor heating, which runs throughout the downstairs, is enhanced by a remoteoperated stove, inset upon a modern glass hearth. Clean and contemporary in its décor, alcoves offer storage, while spotlighting shines down warmly from above. Maximising space, a cloakroom sits neatly beneath the stairs, with a utility cupboard beside the front door offering space for coats and shoes alongside plumbing for a washing machine.
Wine and Dine
White, crisp and handleless, the kitchen to the other side of the entrance hallway offers built-in storage within its cupboards and drawers, while contemporary grey worktops provide plenty of preparation space. Integrated Neff appliances include two ovens, a microwave and induction hob alongside a fridge-freezer. With space for a breakfast table beside the French doors, in summer months, invite a fresh breeze indoors from the small courtyard to the side of the home.
Rest and Revive
From the entrance hallway, the stairs turn up to the first-floor landing, where the principal bedroom beckons on the right. Light, bright and spacious, two large sash windows to the front invite plenty of sunshine, offering handsome views out over central Stamford. Refresh and revive in the first-floor bathroom, where a mirrored wall above the bath, containing showerhead attachment, amplifies the sense of space. Across from the principal bedroom, a second spacious double bedroom again captures elevated views out over Stamford’s iconic rooftops. These same views await from the second floor, where a third bountiful bedroom entreats, while a fourth bedroom, ideal as a playroom or even walk-in wardrobe storage, awaits across the landing. Also on this floor, a contemporary shower room serves both bedrooms. A fitted water softener adds to the comfort and ease of everyday living throughout the home.
What We Love
Combining contemporary living with the convenience of Stamford-centre accessibility, No. 1 Rock Road is a warm, welcoming and characterful home, perfectly attuned to the pace of modern life.
