Description

The Gables, 54 High Street, is a delightful slice of history within Stamford, brimming with original features. It is
believed that the property was both designed and lived in by the Mayor of Stamford at the time. The Gables is a
Grade II listed property of brick, stone and Collyweston slate.

From the moment one steps through the front door you are surrounded by a wealth of history. The wooden
panelling either side of the doorway pre-dates the property, suspected from the Jacobian era, and it is thought
originally resided in Burley House itself. The reception hall displays beautiful, original tiles, and the current vendors
commissioned a specialist joiner, who had worked on York Cathedral, to create the additional wooden panelling
along the corridor.

To the left is the formal dining room with stunning bay window complete with original glass within the sash
windows. This handsome room exhibits a fine example of an anaglypta ceiling complete with cornicing and rose
however it is the marble fireplace that forms the focus of the room.

Opposite the dining room is the sitting room again, brimming with original features such as the working fireplace
with marble surround and a further example of anaglypta. The cast iron radiators, although not original, are very
much in keeping with the décor and feature throughout the property.

Rising two stairs to the rear of the property there is a downstairs WC with Victorian era feature toilet and quarry
tiles adjacent to which is a useful utility come boot room with built in storage and Belfast sink. This dual aspect
room has a window looking into the kitchen, a nod to when that wall was the original rear of the property before
the current vendors extended in 2009.

Through to the kitchen, there is plenty of built-in storage, a dual sink and an island with breakfast bar seating. The
eye-catching kitchen surface is green labradorite granite, a semi-precious stone. The Lacanche Range Cooker is next
to a large larder cabinet and double doors lead out onto the dining terrace.

Brick stairs lead down to a domed cellar, ideal for storage.

Rising to the first floor there is a large, dual aspect family bathroom with roll top, free standing bath. With Victorian
style fittings, there is also a feature fireplace. Moving round, there is a bedroom with views over the rear.

Taking advantage of the end of terrace position, to the front of the property is a stunning drawing room boasting
two bay windows, flooding the room with natural light. Wooden flooring throughout, there is also a gas fire, marble
fireplace.

Completing the first floor is the Principal Suite with two large sash windows highlighting views to the front and the
infamous High Street of Stamford. There is also an en-suite shower room with the charming feature of the servant
door providing access to the staircase leading to the second floor.

To the second floor, there is a conservation door providing access to the roof, an attic room cubby door and there
is also a useful loft hatch on the second-floor landing. A dual aspect double bedroom has bay windows to the
front and side and an original fireplace and a further dual aspect double bedroom again with original fireplace.

OUTSIDE

The Gables, 54 High Street, as an end of terrace property, enjoys the use of a side passage, perfect for access to
the rear garden and somewhere to position the bins.

Along the passageway you share company with both Optimus and Pessimus, the original gargoyle character
figures on the gable end.

The passageway opens out into a private, walled garden. From the dining terrace a gravel footpath meanders
through mature flower beds of trees and shrubs such as sedum, hellebores, and ferns, and leads to a charming
seating area and further to a deceptively large garden shed perfect for storage.
