Moving to Stamford

There are of course many considerations to be made when moving an a new area. Factors such as its proximity to your workplace (unless you work from home in which case a fast internet connection or additional workspaces may be important to you), local schools, shops, affordability of housing all come into play. First and foremost though, your personal feel for a place in central to your move and choosing a place to live.

Thankfully most find that Stamford, Lincolnshire offers a first impression that’s second to none. A picturesque market town of church spires and Georgian architecture, with both household name, independent and boutiques shops, green spaces, cobbled streets, and numerous pubs, restaurants and cafe to while away the hours in. There’s the likes of Stamford Corn Exchange and Art Centre too for all of your entertainment needs.

It’s historic charm offers appeal to all, from young professionals and families to retirees. Beautiful countryside, Burghley House and spots like Rutland Water are close by. A trip to Cambridge or even London (a little over an hour away by train) easiy doable. Stamford is steeped in history and is something of an actual hidden gem, in a world where that term is all too often over applied term.

Housing Options?

Housing wise, Stamford has something for everyone in terms budget. There’s stunning Georgian terraces and impressive semi-detached and detached family homes, more modest housing full of character that’s still well within walking distance of all Stamford has to offer, and bungalows for those looking for a more relaxed pace to life.

This access and proximity to Stamford town centre is one of the town’s best attributes, and hardly a given with most beautiful places (considering Stamford has often been voted are one of the best places in the country to live). Moving to Stamford brings with it charm, modern amenities, and an easy pace of life, all while being in relatively close proximity by car and train to cities like Cambridge and London.

Next Steps

When we moves to Stamford, estate agents guided us through the process, showing us a number of properties, some requiring more work than others before we took the plunge. Moving house is often a rather drawn out and stressful process so I’d definitely suggest a few viewings and getting an idea of what you’re looking for, and taking it from there. When all is said and done through, and you’re handed the keys, I very much doubt you’ll be regretting your Stamford move!
