4 Bedroom Detached House, Chestnut Gardens, Stamford, PE9

Tucked away on a generous corner plot in a popular area of Stamford, this substantial family home has been cherished by the same family for over four decades. Now, for the first time in 41 years, it’s ready to welcome new owners. With its spacious layout, beautiful wrap-around garden and peaceful location, it’s a home filled with memories—and ready for more.

The current owners were first drawn to the property in 1984 by the large, private garden—and it’s been the heart of the home ever since. Over the years, it’s hosted wedding receptions, live music and countless family parties. “We’ve loved all the space,” they told us. “We’ve had Silver Wedding celebrations on the lawn, friends and family gathered under a marquee, and so many happy memories here.”

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a light-filled hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the house. The ground floor flows seamlessly, offering a choice of generous reception spaces perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday family life. There’s a formal dining room for special occasions, a comfortable living room centred around a characterful fireplace, and a bright, airy conservatory with a solid roof and garden views. “I love a quiet hour in the conservatory with a good book,” one of the owners shared. “It’s such a relaxing space.”

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is practical and sociable, with an adjoining dining area ideal for busy breakfasts and relaxed Sunday dinners.

One of the standout features is the impressive dual-aspect games room—an expansive, flexible space created as part of a thoughtful extension in 1990. Whether you imagine a home cinema, studio, gym, or multi-generational living space, the potential here is exceptional. “The space could easily be converted into two or three bedrooms, an office with gym, or a separate space for elderly parents,” the owners said. “It’s one of the things we’ve most appreciated over the years.”

Upstairs, all four bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, offering generous storage without compromising on space. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite, while a stylish family bathroom—with a free-standing roll-top bath—and a convenient ground floor shower room complete the layout.

Outside, the home truly shines. The wraparound garden is private and peaceful, with mature trees, neatly kept lawns, sunny patio areas and two charming summer houses. “It’s been a brilliant place for the grandchildren—hide and seek in the garden, snooker in the games room,” the owners smiled. “When the whole family is here, there’s still space for everyone.”

A double garage and ample driveway parking add even more practicality, while the location offers the best of both worlds: quiet and neighbourly, yet just a short hop from Stamford town centre, excellent schools and major transport links. “It’s a very quiet spot with lovely neighbours—we’ll really miss that,” the owners added.

After 41 happy years, the time has come for someone else to fall in love with this home. “We’ve been very comfortable here, and we’ll be sad to leave. It’s been a lovely place to bring up our children, and we’d love to think the next family will enjoy it just as much as we have.”
