Crestwood House is a landmark Grade II* listed townhouse on St Martins’ High Street, offering exceptional scale and period character across roughly 6,361 sq ft. The property combines grand reception rooms, an NGI-designed kitchen, a self-contained two-bedroom annexe, and a walled, south-facing garden of approximately 0.49 acre — rare for a town-centre location. Electric gates, a large block-paved driveway and a detached double garage provide substantial private parking. Environmental touches include rainwater collection, an irrigation system, a water softener and a water purifier.
The house dates to the early 1600s and retains many original features: exposed beams, open fireplaces, a restored curved oak staircase and tall mullioned windows. Large rooms such as a drawing room and billiards room with integrated sound systems make the property ideal for entertaining, while cellars and multiple floors offer flexible accommodation for family living or mixed residential and professional use.
Important practical points are clear and factual: the Grade II* listing brings significant conservation obligations and will restrict alterations, which can add cost and time to major works. The property currently functions partly as office suites across three floors and would require reconfiguration to return to wholly residential use. With eleven bedrooms but only four bathrooms across the main house and annexe, modern family use may need additional bathroom facilities. Local recorded crime rates are high — an important consideration for buyers.
Crestwood House suits buyers seeking an exceptional period home with provenance, space for extended family or staff, and potential for rental income from the annexe. It is also a candidate for buyers prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and to invest in adaptation where required. The location — a short walk from Stamford station and close to reputable schools and Burghley estate — adds commuter convenience and lifestyle appeal.
