Large character house with cottage, garage and extensive walled gardens in Collyweston.
Grade II listed stone house with abundant period features
Park Farm (The Engine) is a substantial Grade II listed stone house in Collyweston, rich in period character and set within a very large walled plot. The main house retains exposed beams, inglenook/AGA, a cosy sitting room with log burner, conservatory overlooking the garden, and original cellar now housing a ground-floor WC. The gated entrance leads to parking and a separate one-bedroom Grooms Cottage (extended 2009), plus a generous outbuilding with garage, workshop and first-floor storage.
The gardens are a standout asset: a designed entrance, lawn, terrace, pond, rockery, historic dovecot and productive potager with raised beds and an apple tree. Commuter links are good — Stamford 4 miles and Peterborough c.14 miles with rail links to London — while village amenities include a pub and community shop.
Important: Grade II listing limits alterations and will require specialist consent for many changes, which may complicate renovation or extension plans. Services are connected (gas central heating), but none have been tested; buyers should commission surveys. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal.
This freehold property suits buyers seeking a character home with outbuildings and garden scale — families, multi-generation households, or those wanting ancillary rental potential — who are comfortable working within listed-building constraints and with some maintenance/updating where needed.
