Hereward Place, Stamford, PE9

Set within an exclusive enclave of limestone-built homes built in 2017, Park House forms part of a thoughtfully designed development whose appearance and detailing have been carefully considered to sit comfortably alongside Stamford’s historic character.

Timeless Elegance

Experience beautifully balanced family living in a home where timeless architectural styling is matched by the comfort and practicality of contemporary design. A private driveway provides parking for two vehicles alongside the single garage. Beyond the elegant ‘Burghley Blue’ front door, the feeling of refinement continues in the entrance hallway, where a classic pinstriped stair runner climbs gracefully to the first floor ahead, lending a timeless, country-house elegance. Built-in storage beneath the staircase keeps coats and shoes neatly tucked away, with a handy washroom with basin and lavatory, decorated in shimmering monochrome woodland scenes. Dual-aspect sash windows, together with French doors opening onto the southfacing garden, ensure the spacious sitting room remains beautifully bright throughout the day. Wonderfully sized for families, the gas fire offers warmth and welcome in the cooler months.

The Heart of the Home

Wine and dine with all the family in the spacious, free-flowing, open-plan kitchen. Designed with modern living and entertaining in mind, the central island features a cantilevered breakfast bar, its crisp white worktop appearing to float on a sleek glass support creating a sociable spot for coffee, homework or a glass of wine while dinner simmers nearby. All essential appliances, including a pair of integrated ovens, dishwasher, fridge freezer and full-height larder cupboard, nestle neatly within the Shaker-style cabinetry. Beyond, the dining table sits beneath a sculptural spherical pendant, looking out over the sunny walled garden through the bi-fold doors. To one side, a bespoke NGIdesigned media wall incorporates a neatly integrated study nook, creating a practical space for home working without compromising the room's sociable flow. The contemporary dining table echoes the island's elegant glass detailing, lending the room a light and cohesive feel.

Practical Spaces

The laundry room also opens directly onto the garden, making everyday family life and summer entertaining particularly practical.

Bedroom Bliss

Upstairs, the first floor is home to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to make the most of the home's light and lofty proportions. Tucked privately away beyond an inner landing, the principal suite, with its vaulted ceiling and soothing palette of soft neutrals, creates a wonderfully calm and inviting retreat. The adjoining dressing room is centred around a bespoke dressing table positioned within the window recess, creating an inviting place to prepare for the day whilst enjoying views across the residents' pocket park and the historic almshouses beyond, while the boutique-style en suite, complete with elegant wall covering and ambient lighting, adds a luxurious finishing touch.

Soak and Sleep

Returning to the main landing, the guest double bedroom overlooks the front and side through tall sash windows, where high ceilings and minimalist décor offer a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Adjacent, another spacious double bedroom enjoys views over both the rear garden and the side elevation, its generous proportions reinforcing the sense of space found throughout the home. With the airing cupboard opposite the stairs, the fourth double bedroom is fitted with bespoke NGI Design wardrobes and benefits from its own en suite shower room, making it ideal for guests, older children or multi-generational living. The family bathroom, complete with bathtub and separate shower, serves the remaining bedrooms.

Courtyard Sunshine

Relax and unwind in the peace and privacy of the south-facing walled garden. Soak up the sunshine on the broad terrace, which extends to a large dining area to the left, perfect for al fresco dining from dawn ‘til dusk or settle with a book beneath the vine-draped pergola as its fragrant blooms provide welcome shade. Mediterranean-inspired planting lends the garden a verdant, secluded feel while the artificial lawn provides an immaculate backdrop whatever the season, keeping maintenance minimal all year round. From late spring onwards, the air is gently scented by the potent fragrance of flowering jasmine and wisteria, drifting across the terrace on warm summer evenings.

What We Love

Combining elegant design, beautifully proportioned accommodation and an attractive south-facing walled garden, Park House offers an exceptional balance of style, practicality and convenience, all within comfortable walking distance of Stamford's renowned independent shops, cafés, riverside walks and railway station.
