Step into a deeply characterful Grade II listed home dating to 1649, where exposed beams, stone mullion windows and inglenook fireplaces create an authentic village retreat. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across c. 2,044 sq ft, combining historic features with practical modern comforts such as a Rangemaster oven, gas central heating and a useful garage.
Set on approximately a 0.26-acre plot, the mature, enclosed garden provides privacy, a sheltered terrace for al fresco dining and a stone-built store with potential for an outdoor office (subject to listed/conservation consents). The property sits in the heart of Easton on the Hill, a friendly village with good local amenities and easy road and rail links to Stamford, Peterborough and the A1 — appealing for families who value community and countryside access.
Important practical points are clear: the property’s Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and require specialist listed-building consents; this can affect renovation, extension or change-of-use plans. Some rooms have lower ceiling heights typical of the cottage, and the home sits in a higher council tax band, which should be factored into running costs.
Overall, No. 20 offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a historic, character-rich family home close to Stamford. It rewards careful stewardship and will particularly suit those who appreciate period detail, established gardens and village living, while being prepared to work within listed-building constraints.
