Property description

The Elm sits within extensive gardens, set back from a leafy residential road in the heart of Stamford. The original brick-built house and its Coach House date from the 1920's - some internal period features remain, whilst all the main reception rooms benefit from high ceilings, large windows and plenty of natural light. Over the years the house has seen successive additions, and has grown into an impressive property with elegant living space and extensive and flexible accommodation. It has until recently been operating as a successful four-star rated Guest House, and the layout is currently arranged with en-suite guest-rooms and reception space on the ground floor, and a self-contained three bedroom flat on the first. There is the further benefit of extra space in the self-contained Annexe in the recently converted Coach House. The Elm offers an excellent opportunity to take over and run a thriving business or equally the chance to create a large and handsome family home with a large garden in an excellent location.
