Property description
Dating from the mid-18th century when it was built with the neighbouring property for two sisters, this lovely period townhouse is a fine example of the elegant Georgian architecture synonymous with the popular town of Stamford. The attractive façade features the classic details of the period with sash windows set around an elegant stepped entrance with wrought iron railings.
