Location

An ideal principal or second home, The Dovecote is one of ten individual residences within the 13 acres of communal parkland and gardens of Casewick Hall in a magnificent setting, a mile south of Uffington village and four miles from the Georgian market town of Stamford.

Approached through the ornate gates and parkland, there is a fabulous sense of arrival at the property. Uffington has a village hall, parish church, public house and primary school, whilst Stamford has a variety of amenities and shopping, including supermarkets, and is renowned for its schooling. Copt Hill Preparatory School is less than two miles from this property.

For leisure, Uffington is close to the Tallington Lakes Leisure Park. Golf is available at Burghley Park Golf Club in Stamford. The area is well connected by road, with the A1 bypassing Stamford, where railway services provide hourly services to Peterborough (connecting to London Kings Cross services, under 50 mins) and to Cambridge.

Description

A beautiful stone single storey two bedroom, two bath/shower room cottage with the addition of a converted two storey one bedroom Grade II listed Dovecote. This unusual combination offers three bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, or a two-bedroom cottage and single bedroom Dovecote for letting purposes, in the most beautiful setting in the grounds of Casewick Hall.

The main residence is the long shed of the former Casewick estate and dates from the 1800s and was converted into a private residence in 2006 and was totally refurbished in 2019. It offers significant charm and character positioned with generous west facing private gardens with a central family dining kitchen and en suite bath/shower rooms at either wing.
Forming part of the residence, but detached from the cottage within the garden, the 18th century Dovecote is a beautiful stone under slate conversion from 2017, with ground floor kitchen and shower room and retains some of the original pigeon nesting boxes. Upstairs is the lovely bedroom with views out three sides and with a glazed ceiling giving a magnificent sight up to the massive oak timbers and glazed lantern at the top.

The property has a fabulous sense of fun and humour throughout. Both the cottage and The Dovecote are double glazed and have electric under floor heating coupled with character and history.

The Cedar Garden located across the driveway is a two acre enclosed private garden for the exclusive use of the residents of Casewick and is bounded by hedgerows with shrubs and attractive deciduous trees including a fabulous ancient cedar. The residents of Casewick also have full access to the wonderful Park area as you approach Casewick Hall, of around 5 hectares where the local farmer has permission to graze his sheep for several months of the year. Both the Cedar Garden and Casewick Park are communally held by the residents of Casewick.

A management charge of between £300 - £500pa covers the maintenance of these common parts.
