In the heart of Stamford, a lantern lights the doorway of this 300-year-old townhouse. The owners have spent a year carefully renovating this home, maintaining the classic stonework outside, and creating a sophisticated space filled with colour inside. A wood-burning stove tucked into the original stone wall of the living room adds a touch of cottage cosiness, while midnight blue wall panelling and an aquamarine sofa are solidly 21st-century. The clash of eras continues in the custom-made kitchen where dark blue cupboards filled with sleek black crockery sit against lime-green walls, and the wooden beams of the low ceiling wouldn’t be out of place in an 18th-century country kitchen. Out the back door, a decked, courtyard-style garden is the perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink as stings of lights twinkle above. It’s just a few steps to Stamford High Street, where there are plenty of shops, cafés and delis to choose from.

About Northamptonshire
Battleground during the War of the Roses, Northamptonshire has stories pouring out from every nook and cranny. The villages dotting the countryside could still be in Tudor times, where thatch-roof cottages create shambling streets in the likes of Collyweston and Crick. Grander abodes come in the form of estate homes, like Althorp House, Boughton House and Sulgrave Manor, open to the public for tours of opulent rooms and rambles through...
