What the owner told us…
“The house has served us so well, from life as a couple to family life with two children. It has made us all incredibly happy, and we will miss it. I hope the new owners will be as happy here as we have been.”
Our Thoughts…
If you are looking for a home that feels ready for real life from the moment you step through the door, this could be exactly the one to see. Built in 2017 by Taylor Wimpey, this detached home offers the kind of space, light and flexibility that is hard to find in one package. With four genuine double bedrooms, more than 1,400 sq ft of accommodation, a private garden, detached garage and a corner plot position, it is a house designed to keep up with busy family life without ever feeling cramped or compromised.
What stands out straight away is just how bright and well balanced the whole house feels. White walls run throughout, giving it a fresh, calm feel and creating a true blank canvas for the next owners, while the overall condition is excellent, making it easy to imagine moving straight in and simply enjoying it from day one. The property was bought from new and benefits from the reassurance of its NHBC certificate, which will appeal to buyers wanting a modern home without a long list of jobs waiting for them.
The living room is a fantastic size and has a really comfortable feel to it. Its square proportions make it work especially well as a proper family room, and with windows to the front and double doors opening onto the patio, it feels light and welcoming by day and cosy in the evening. It is easy to picture exactly what the current owners have loved here, movie nights, relaxed weekends, and a room generous enough to bring everyone together without anyone feeling on top of each other.
Then there is the kitchen diner, and for many buyers this will be the space that really sells the house. It is large, bright and sociable, with dual aspect windows and doors opening straight onto the garden patio. There is plenty of built in storage, ample room for a large dining table, and a practical range of fitted appliances including an oven, hob, cooker hood, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and washer dryer. It is a room made for ordinary days and special occasions alike. You can imagine children around the table, friends round for dinner, and that lovely end of day moment the owners describe so well, music on, dinner cooking, and the chance to catch up properly.
A real bonus on the ground floor is the additional reception room, currently used as a playroom. This has clearly worked brilliantly for the current family, but it is exactly the sort of extra space buyers are always hoping for because it can become whatever you need it to be. A snug, playroom, formal dining room, study or work from home space, it gives the layout flexibility that makes the house work at different stages of life.
Upstairs, the room sizes continue to impress. All four bedrooms are doubles, which is a genuine selling point and makes the house feel especially generous. The principal bedroom is particularly inviting, with dual aspect windows drawing in natural light from two sides and its own immaculate en suite shower room. The family bathroom is equally smart and modern, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, while bedroom four also benefits from built in storage. There is also a large cupboard under the stairs downstairs, adding the sort of practical storage every family appreciates.
Outside, the garden has been arranged in a way that really makes the most of the plot. It is not overlooked and has been set out in different sections so it can be enjoyed in different ways. There is lawn for children to play, patio space for outdoor dining, and a more tucked away area where the adults can sit and unwind. It is easy to see why this has worked so well for the current owners, from paddling pools in the summer to relaxed evenings outside once the children are in bed. The detached garage and driveway parking add even more practicality, and the overall corner plot setting helps the house feel nicely positioned within the development.
What also makes this home stand out is how well it connects family life with everyday convenience. Malcolm Sargent Primary School is opposite the development on Empingham Road, local bus routes serve nearby secondary schools, and Stamford town centre is within easy reach. For commuters, the A1 is close by and Stamford’s railway links, together with fast onward connections from Peterborough, make access to major centres including London, Cambridge, Leicester, Northampton, Birmingham and Nottingham far more manageable than many buyers expect when they first look at Stamford.
And Stamford itself is a huge part of the appeal. Living here means enjoying one of the country’s most beautiful Georgian market towns while still being incredibly well placed for the wider Midlands and beyond. There is a real sense of quality of life here, with well regarded schools, a strong community feel, and the kind of setting where people genuinely put down roots. Rutland Water is within easy reach for weekends outdoors, and the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham add even more choice close by.
The development has its own charm too. It is popular, friendly and made up of families, couples, upsizers and downsizers, so there is a real mix of people and a proper village feel. Green spaces and play areas are woven through it, which only adds to the sense that this is somewhere designed for people to enjoy, not just somewhere to live.
This is a home that has already proven how well it can adapt, taking its owners from life as a couple to marriage, children, working from home and everything in between. That flexibility, along with the room sizes, the light, the garden and the location, makes it a very easy home to imagine settling into. If you are looking for a detached modern home in Stamford that gives you space to grow, room to breathe and the chance to enjoy both town and country life, this is one I would absolutely recommend viewing.
There is an annual service charge of approximately £190 for the maintenance of communal areas on the development.
