What the owner told us…
We’ve loved living here. It’s such a friendly street and only a few minutes’ walk into town, which has made life so easy. In the winter, we spend most evenings in the living room with the log burner going. It’s warm, relaxing, and just a great place to unwind. When the weather’s better, we open the patio doors and sit in the garden. It’s a great spot for a barbecue or just enjoying a quiet evening outdoors.
Our thoughts…
Doughty Street is one of those streets people tend to stay on once they’ve moved here. It’s made up of well-maintained Edwardian semis, each one with its own bit of character, and there’s a real sense that people care about where they live. This home has clearly been looked after and has a warm, welcoming feel from the moment you step inside.
The living room sits at the front of the house with a large square bay window that fills the room with natural light. The log burner creates a lovely atmosphere through the colder months and makes it a really comfortable space to spend time in.
The dining room is a great size with plenty of natural light from the dual aspect windows and some original built-in storage that adds to the character. The chimney breast remains in place, so there’s potential to reinstate a fireplace in the future, subject to the relevant inspections and permissions.
The kitchen sits at the back and feels homely and practical. There’s space for your white goods, soft-close cupboards and drawers, and room for a breakfast table. The patio doors open directly to the garden, making it easy to move between the two spaces, especially when the weather’s nice.
Upstairs there are two good double bedrooms and a third single room that would make a lovely nursery, dressing room or home office. The bathroom has a traditional white suite with a bath and overhead shower, finished with classic subway tiling. There’s also a large airing cupboard for useful extra storage.
The house has been well maintained, with the chimneys repointed and capped, the chimney stacks rebuilt, and the boiler still under warranty. The UPVC double-glazed windows help keep the warmth in and reduce outside noise, making the home energy efficient and comfortable.
The garden is enclosed with a mix of lawn and patio, plus a timber summerhouse with electricity which would make a great workspace or gym. There’s also a shed for storage. The front garden is enclosed too and could be converted into a driveway, subject to the usual permissions, as several others on the street have done. On-street parking is also available.
Doughty Street is a lovely residential area within walking distance of Stamford’s town centre, shops, cafés and restaurants. The train station is around a mile away, and there are well thought of local schools nearby, including St George’s Primary and Casterton College.
This is a lovely Edwardian home that’s been cared for and enjoyed. It feels warm and inviting throughout and would be a wonderful place for someone new to make their own.
