With off-road parking and well-regarded schools within walking distance, it’s perfectly placed for family life, all while being just a short drive from Stamford.

Located in the centre of Great Casterton, this attractive stone cottage has been extended over time to create a flexible and well-balanced home, ideal for modern living while still retaining its original charm.

There are two main access points into the property, with the day-to-day entrance leading into a useful boot room, perfect for coats, shoes and storage, with exposed stone adding immediate character. From here, you step into the open-plan kitchen and living space, a light and sociable area. The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances, space for a range cooker, and opens into a dual-aspect lounge with French doors out to the garden and fitted shutters. A spiral staircase from the lounge leads up to the principal bedroom, adding a unique feature to the space.

To the front of the home, the dining room provides a great entertaining area, centred around an exposed brick fireplace currently used as a feature log store. This flows through to a separate utility room and WC, offering additional storage and a dedicated laundry space. Also at the front, the snug creates another cosy reception room, complete with a bay window, open fireplace and shutters; ideal as a quieter retreat. Character features such as beams, wooden doors and flooring can be found throughout, giving the home a real sense of warmth.

Upstairs, the original staircase leads to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both featuring period fireplaces. The second bedroom also benefits from a walk-in bay window and a built-in storage cupboard. The family bathroom combines modern fittings with exposed stonework and includes a shower over the bath. A further internal door connects to the large ensuite and then onto to the principal bedroom, where skylights, the spiral staircase and Juliet balcony doors make the most of the elevated views across the garden and river.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a sunny south-westerly aspect and has been thoughtfully arranged with a variety of seating areas, lawn and established planting. At the far end, a riverside deck provides a peaceful spot to sit and take in the surroundings. There is also a brick-built outbuilding and separate shed, both useful for storage.

A brilliant opportunity to secure a character home in a well-connected village, with great schooling, countryside walks and Stamford all within easy reach.
