4 bedroom townhouse for sale

Serenely set on one of Stamford’s most iconic rows of Georgian homes, character meets contemporary comfort, at the sublime No. 2, Rutland Terrace. With its evocative Georgian frontage, the Grade-II listed Rutland Terrace is an iconic example of Regency grandeur only five minutes’ walk from the heart of Stamford.

Timeless Elegance

Yew hedging and lavender borders frame the bowling green-esque square of lawn to the front, overlooked by a wrought iron bench facing down over the meadows beyond and across to Wothorpe. Where better for an evening gin and tonic as the sun drops? Step inside, where the high ceiling and traditional coving, chair rails, architraves and archways of the entrance hall emanate classic Georgian elegance and welcome.

A Home with Heritage

Ascend the grand staircase to arrive at the drawing room on the first floor, a feature typical of townhouses such as this. Soak up the stunning views from this elevated room, where two sets of French doors open to oriel balconies overlooking the rurality that abounds. Wooden plank flooring extends underfoot, whilst rich blue walls evoke that timeless sense of splendour. Ornate coving skirts the ceiling whilst warmth emanates from the handsome fireplace. A room with timeless elegance, enjoy an aperitif on the balcony whilst admiring the glorious views, both indoors and out.

Sleep Well

Also on this floor, discover the main bedroom – light, bright and spacious, with high ceiling and large window looking out over the rear – and family bathroom. Stairs continue up to the second-floor landing where fitted storage can be found alongside three spacious bedrooms featuring traditional fireplaces, quirky alcoves, fitted wardrobes and shelving and phenomenal views over the meadows to the front.

Wine, Dine and Unwind

Returning to the ground floor, character radiates throughout the open plan kitchen dining room. To the front, an arched window frames irresistible views of the garden and meadows beyond and draws light into the dining area. Ideal for entertaining, the classical ceiling rose, deep coving and a traditional cast iron fireplace add a sense of understated grandeur. Flow through a broad archway into the kitchen, where there is room for an Aga within the chimney breast, and classic wooden cabinetry affords plenty of storage. With room for a fridge-freezer and other appliances, there is ample scope to cook up plans for your dream kitchen here.

More to Discover

Keep the clutter concealed in the handy laundry room to the rear, with further storage and access to the shower room. Off here, discover a charming and characterful atrium, well-lit by two lantern lights. Beyond, a rear porch offers access to a shared driveway where storage can be found in the double garages. 2 Rutland Terrace has one last area to discover. Stone steps lead down to reveal the tanked cellar rooms, with another utility area and offering potential for conversion, perhaps into a cinema room.
