SITUATION
Albert Villa occupies a prominent position on Tinwell Road, on the western edge of Stamford, a highly regarded stone-built market town celebrated for its Georgian architecture, independent shops, cafes, and well-regarded schools. Stamford frequently features in national ‘best places to live’ lists.
The town is ideally located for commuters, with the A1 nearby and direct trains from Peterborough to London Kings Cross in under an hour. Reputable schools in Stamford, Oakham, Uppingham, and Oundle are all within easy reach, as are leisure opportunities including golf at Burghley Park and Rutland Water’s nature reserve and water sports just 7 miles west.
DESCRIPTION
Albert Villa is a handsome, unlisted Victorian residence with elegant proportions, set beneath a slate roof. Original features including ceiling roses, cornicing, sash windows, and fireplaces are beautifully preserved throughout the home.
Stone steps and wrought iron railings define the entrance, leading to a central hallway with traditional tiled flooring, offering sight lines through to the rear courtyard. The entrance hall is elegantly framed with striking panelled walls that set a refined tone for the rest of the home, continuing seamlessly along the hall and ascending the staircase, to create a distinguished first impression.
Off the entrance hall, the formal sitting room enjoys wooden flooring, a gas fireplace, and a charming bay window. Across the hall, the dining room features a working open fireplace and an open plan aspect through to the kitchen, creating a seamless flow between the two spaces, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry, AEG appliances, an integrated fridge-freezer, and a built-in dishwasher, with views over the courtyard garden. A continuation of the Italian tiled flooring leads into the utility room, which includes a skylight, sink, and plumbing for a washing machine. Beyond is the ground floor WC.
A separate study overlooks the courtyard, providing a peaceful workspace or reading room.
Stairs rise to a mid-landing with a stylish family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and vanity unit. The first-floor hosts four double bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a period fireplace. Another front-facing bedroom also includes a feature fireplace and fitted alcove shelving. The two rear bedrooms enjoy views across the courtyard and nearby allotments. Completing the first floor is a separate shower room.
There is loft access to a partially boarded attic space, offering additional storage or potential for conversion (subject to the necessary permissions).
OUTSIDE
To the front, the property is framed by wrought iron railings and raised flower beds flanking the bay windows. A gated pathway to the side provides access to the rear courtyard.
The courtyard itself is fully enclosed and walled, with built-in seating and storage, ideal for al fresco entertaining. A mature fig tree serves as a striking centrepiece, while pleached trees enhance privacy and charm.
