WELCOME HOME Ancaster House

THOROUGHLY MODERN THOROUGHLY MODERN

It may be constructed of period materials, with the solidity of a home hundreds of years old, but Ancaster House is gloriously contemporary, stylish and packed with modern touches throughout... best of all, it’s also located in the heart of Stamford!

Location, location, location! Ancaster House is a prestigious end of terrace modern townhouse in the centre of Stamford. Within walking distance to Stamford’s many shops, restaurant and excellent schools, if you’re looking for a property in Stamford you’ll not find a better location than this! In 2017, family man and property developer Simon Smith built Ancaster House and seven other properties on the same site, with help from his two partners. The role of Ancaster House was to be the family home of Simon, his wife and two boys, aged one and three. All eight houses within this gated development are stunning

and built to a high spec in an architectural style that reflects the heritage and charming character of Stamford... howev er Ancaster House is a cut above the rest even for a Stamford property!

Standing rather majestically alongside its neighbours Ancaster House is built in local mellow yellow Stamford brick and Clipsham limestone under a blue slate roof studded with a row of four dormer windows, the façade is an impressive sight.

Beyond the Georgian style façade you will discover an exquisitely finished interior that offers the best of both worlds. The couple used architect Harris McCormack to design the handsome townhouse. Simon and his wife spent many hours researching other buildings in Stamford and choose their favourite designs to replicate in this property.

“Beyond the Georgian façade you will discover an exquisitely finished contemporary interior...”

Ancaster House is arranged over three floors, comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms and three reception rooms. The master bedroom is Simon’s favourite room in the house and occupies the entire top floor. The bedroom area features a stunning contemporary pod bath perfect for relaxing and the room benefits from a large en suite shower room and an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. On the first floor there is a guest suite with a luxury en suite bathroom, the children’s bedrooms and a Porcelanosasourced family bathroom.

Downstairs there’s a wonderful large lounge which is fantastic for family gatherings with a large wood burner for those cosy nights. The kitchen and dining area also features a modern log burner with the kitchen breakfast room opening onto a landscape terrace through bi-folding doors. Meanwhile the living kitchen is Simon’s wife favourite spot in the house.

63 The kitchen has been created by Stamford company Bakehouse Kitchens and is almost twenty-six foot long with the folding-sliding doors onto the rear terrace making it the ideal spot for relaxing on a summer’s evening or for entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with modern kitchen cabinets and marble work surfaces.

It also features a very substantial Wolf range cooker with teppanyaki plate. The property has also been fitted with a Control 4 System. With just one touch you can dim the lights, play music, turn up the heat or lock all doors and arm the security system. The house is accessible through a pair of metal gates, and you first pass the attractive, detached double garage which also provides further living space above. The annex comprises of an open plan living area with fully fitted bespoke kitchen and an en suite shower room. Meanwhile, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to make the absolute most of the outside areas with a tiered patio and raised

lawn all enclosed by stone walling and fencing. The family also choose artificial grass which they love and has the advantage of being very easy to maintain.

It’s fair to say that this end of terrace town house was built to be special and with over 4,000 sq ft of accommodation, its enviable town centre location and stunning modern Georgian splendor Simon has done just that.

As a property developer Simon is always looking for a new project and the family have now built a bigger family home just up the road which they are moving into imminently. They’ll leave behind a thoroughly modern family home that’s smart and stylish! n
