Strutt & Parker in Stamford

With a history that harks back to the Domesday Book, albeit as the slightly altered “Stanford,” this stunning stone town is one of the most storied in England. There were several parliaments held here during the Middle Ages, and its allure continues to hold, as evidenced by the fact it was recently named as Britain’s Top Place to Live by the Sunday Times.

The area is home to a number of ancient coaching inns, and that history of hospitality continues with a thriving high street, full of excellent pubs and bars. Other highlights include the hundreds of listed buildings around town, as well as multiple Medieval churches. And, part of the reason for the town’s success is its well-connectedness, which began in the age of the stagecoach and now continues with the nearby A1.

Leicester is the nearest big city and Peterborough is also close, so you’re well taken care of if you occasionally need the conveniences of a busier settlement. With that said, most of the time you’ll find all the amenities you need in Stamford, whether it’s artisanal produce from independent stores, or the weekly shop at a supermarket. The surrounding countryside is also among the most stunning in all of England, perfect for those looking for a bit more of the rural.

Stamford is an excellent place to raise a family thanks to its well-regarded local schools. And if you like to get active, there’s lots to do for all ages – from exploring the historical sites to taking advantage of the nearby natural highlights. Homes are generally spacious, and are often complete with charming outdoor spaces. There are also plenty of countryside bungalows, as well as more modern, compact options heading further into town.
