4 bedroom detached house for sale

Crowned by its Collyweston slate roof and a 17th-century sundial set high in the gable, this former village inn holds a timeless place at the heart of Easton on the Hill, a village where rural bliss and community living go hand in hand.

Character Set in Stone

A home of infinite character and surprise, step through into the entrance hallway, where rustic beams and panelled walls set the scene for a home in harmony with its roots, evoking warmth and welcome whilst a quaint staircase turns up to the left ahead. In the first sitting room, infusing warmth, the log-burning stove sits within an inglenook fireplace uncovered by the current owners. Curved stonework and Georgian windows providing rose fringed garden views combine to create a vision of period splendour. A second reception room, again with log-burning stove beneath a robust treacle-toned beam, could serve well as a formal dining room, awash with light from a shuttered bay window. Original cabinetry dressed in contemporary stone shades provides ample storage.

Savour the Spectacle

As you make your way to the rear of the home, a private courtyard area sits to one side, the perfect spot for a peaceful morning coffee with the newspapers. Quarry tiled underfoot, feast your eyes on the country kitchen, with Rangemaster oven, Belfast sink and traditional larder cupboard. Solid wood worktops and rustic beams emanate traditional character, whilst through an opening, the breakfast and dining room opens up. Stone mullion windows meet with French doors to invite daylight through, whilst a vaulted utility room with stable door to the garden awaits beyond. With a dainty cloakroom at its foot, stairs lead up to the first-floor landing, flooded with light from a tall window at the top, picking out the whorls in the exposed beams that decorate the space.

Bedtime Beckons

Privately positioned at the end of the landing, the first of the home’s four bedrooms is a true haven. A fiery red cotinus tree flames from beyond the stone mullion window, with exposed stone tracing the walls and a more recently uncovered fireplace beneath the high vaulted ceiling. The family bathroom, bedecked in beams and stone mullion window, blends contemporary metro tiled shower with roll top bathtub; perfect for a morning spritz or an evening soak. Cottage windows to either side invite light through into the guest bedroom, a spacious double, whilst adjacent, built-in cabinetry defines the next of the double bedrooms. Dressed in soft buttery shades reflecting the light, the final bedroom offers sanctuary and solace, served by an elegant en suite dressed in alcoves and exposed timbers behind a pocket door. An original door conceals built-in wardrobe storage.

A stone-built store offers outdoor office potential, subject to the relevant permissions while toward the home, a large, sheltered terrace is ideal for al fresco dining. A detached garage offers plenty of storage, with the pretty courtyard area to the side of the kitchen festooned in rambling pink roses, perfect for morning coffee and sundowners.
