Tucked away in the heart of the pretty village of Easton on the Hill sits this charming period home which has been fully renovated inside and out by the present owner.

The property is steeped in history with the oldest part of the building, formally a bakery, thought to date back around 400 years. In years gone by the newer part being around 200 years old was used as a pub, known as The White Horse.

The spacious dining room retains some lovely original features such as inbuilt cupboards and open shelving which sit neatly beside the chimney breast and, a pretty window complete with window seat beneath.

There is plenty of storage on offer with a range of wall and floor standing cabinets topped with polished granite surfaces which incorporate a breakfast/casual seating area.

To the rear of the kitchen is a door leading to a small courtyard providing an ideal spot for relaxation or morning coffee.

From the dining room an open hallway passes a fabulous ground floor shower room with large walk-in shower, loo and vanity wash basin set into a granite top. Inbuilt storage keeps everything tucked away along with housing the recently installed gas combi boiler.

Further along sees a walk in cupboard for coats and jackets with further storage under the stairs for shoes and boots.

The panelled study is located at the far end of the hallway with a high window towards the courtyard.

The sitting room has tall ceilings and three tall sliding sash windows which flood the room with light.
A woodburning stove sits in an exposed stone chimney breast providing a great focal point and good balance to this large room.

To the rear of the room, a couple of steps take you to the main staircase up to the first floor.
