Second Drift, Wothorpe, PE9

What the owner told us…

“This has been our family home for over 60 years. It’s where we’ve celebrated birthdays, Christmases and even weddings. There’s space for everyone here and with a bit of love, it could be someone else’s forever home too.”

Our thoughts…

You know those homes on TikTok where someone walks in, sees the potential straight away, and turns it into something jaw-dropping? This is one of those. The second I stepped through the front door, I knew this one was special.

It’s the kind of house that makes your heart beat a little faster if you love character, space, and the thrill of making something your own. Early Edwardian, full of original features, and spread over three floors, it’s absolutely brimming with possibilities.

Let’s talk about the space first. The living room at the front is over 14 feet long with a bay window that pours in light. I could instantly see cosy evenings here in winter and bright, airy mornings in summer. Opposite, the dining room is almost square, just under 14 feet each way, with doors out to the garden. Picture it with an oversized table, statement lighting, and those original features highlighted again.

And here’s where it gets exciting… upstairs, the two biggest bedrooms are both generous doubles with fireplaces. The only thing separating them is a stud wall. Take it out and you’ve got a bedroom so grand it feels like a boutique hotel suite. Or keep the front rooms as they are and open up the back into a vast principal with space for a dressing area and en-suite (subject to planning). This is the fun part: you get to design it your way.

The top floor? Two huge attic rooms, each over 18 feet. Right now they’re storage, but in my head I’m already seeing a home cinema, an artist’s studio, or another principal suite with beautiful windows framing the sky.

And the best part is, you don’t have to do everything at once. If you’re itching to get in, you could refresh the walls, bring the floors back to life, and start enjoying it while you plan the bigger things.

The garden is long, private, and full of potential for alfresco dining, lazy summer afternoons, or even your own kitchen garden. At the front, that beautiful Edwardian façade makes a statement before you’ve even opened the door.

Location? You’re in one of Wothorpe’s most desirable streets, a stroll from Stamford’s town centre and station, with countryside walks on your doorstep and the A1 minutes away.

This isn’t just a house, it’s a project you’ll fall in love with. It’s the place where your Pinterest boards and renovation dreams come to life. And when it’s finished, you’ll have a home that’s not only beautiful but also full of value, and completely, uniquely yours.
