Close enough to stroll out for coffee, yet nestled on the quieter eastern fringes of the picture-perfect and characterful English market town of Stamford, contemporary living awaits at No. 26a St Leonard’s Street.
First Impressions
Indoors, sense the newness instantly, with crisp flooring and walls freshly dressed in neutral tones providing a bright, contemporary backdrop throughout. The heart of the home lies to the rear, where the entrance hall opens up into a luxuriously sized family-dining-kitchen and living space. Large format tiles flow out underfoot, warmed by underfloor heating with plenty of space for a table and chairs, before arriving at the culinary hub ahead. Making practical use of every inch of space, a handy utility area is fitted with storage and a sink, with plumbing also for a washer-dryer. Cashmere-toned Shaker-style cabinetry is timeless, providing plenty of storage for all the essential appliances, while crisp white worktops offer ample space for food prep. Brand-new, integrated appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, undermounted sink, AEG induction hob with downdraught extractor and double oven and with space to add a fridge freezer.
Wine and Dine
Cook up a feast for family and friends with views out over the courtyard terrace, where bifolding doors slide back to invite those dining at the breakfast bar central island to step outside for summer soirees and cocktails. After dinner, step up from the kitchen onto the handsome wooden flooring of the sitting room and relax and unwind in front of the warmth of the log burning stove. Elegant sconce lighting creates an ambient glow after dusk falls, while bifolding doors again offer instant connection with the outdoors; perfect when entertaining.
Made For Modern Living
Versatile in its layout, the large reception room to the front of the home, with its bespoke timber sash windows framing the comings and goings of Stamford, could serve equally well as a snug or home office. With ample space for a double bed, it could also provide an accessible ground-floor bedroom, with the added convenience of a guest cloakroom adjacent.
Rest and Retreat
When bedtime beckons, the carpeted stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, where the glass balustrade allows light to flow freely. Rest and refresh in the first of the double bedrooms, cosily carpeted underfoot. The en suite shower room also features a wash basin and lavatory for perfect privacy. To the front, the airy guest bedroom offers elevated views out over St Leonard’s Street, with spotlighting and sconce lighting adding contemporary character. Freshen up in the shower room en suite, furnished in a cohesive style to the bathrooms throughout.
A Boutique Retreat
Seek sanctuary in the principal suite, located up a second flight of stairs on the upper floor. Light and bright, the vaulted ceiling amplifies the sense of space, while the same lighting featured throughout continues the seamless sense of flow. A capacious room, with vistas out over the historic street below, soak and soothe in the spacious en suite, furnished with a double ended bathtub, separate shower, wash basin and lavatory, with ladder towel radiator.
