Stamford Villages & Glenside

Stamford is hard to beat as a location for couples, families or anyone looking for an outstanding quality of life. 

Why Is This Area So Sought-after?

This bustling and prosperous market town is teeming with superb independent retailers as well as some upmarket national brands, regular markets and more than its share of award winning pubs and restaurants.

Proclaimed by Sir Walter Scott as ‘the finest stone town in England’, Stamford has been collecting accolades ever since. More often than not, the town features in the top ten places to live in national polls and has been a conservation area for almost sixty years. Frequently used as the location for costume dramas thanks to the abundance of listed buildings, historic sites and the superb Georgian architecture, Stamford is truly an enviable place to live.

Ideally located, Stamford enjoys easy access to the A1, A47 and mainline rail links which is a huge advantage for those who regularly travel for work as the road stretches from London all the way to Edinburgh. The town also has its own railway and bus station making it ideal for those who use public transport for work.  

The vast range of property here ranges from newly built family homes on the outskirts of Stamford, through charming Victorian and Georgian homes in the town centre to impressive period homes in differing price brackets in the equally desirable villages beyond. Dotted across the scenic Lincolnshire landscape are dozens of picturesque parishes – many of which date back to the Domesday Book – with properties built from the local limestone and Collyweston stone slate. The social calendar in the entire region is crammed with appealing events all year round. Family-friendly activities are organised around churches, open gardens, feast days, music, performing and traditional community life.

Unspoilt Stamford is the complete location package…

In terms of education, parents can select one of the splendid state primary and secondary schools or opt for the renowned Stamford Endowed School which has been educating Stamford students since 1532. Nearby Oakham, Uppingham & Bourne all have prestigious schools to consider. There is a well-established & successful further education college too with a varied prospectus of vocational courses for all ages.

Families moving to this friendly and cosmopolitan community will have no problem meeting like-minded people with countless clubs, classes and opportunities to enjoy sport for all ages plus a cinema, two theatres (one a world famous outdoor venue), green open spaces for walking and cycling, fabulous food plus a cultural heritage that attracts visitors from far and wide including the magnificent Burghley House – the setting for the famous international Horse Trials.
