4 Bedroom Detached House, Stamford Road, Easton On The Hill, PE9

What the owner told us…

“We’ve lived here for almost sixty years. Raised our boys, held Christmases, birthdays, even a wedding reception in the garden. But even outside of all that, it’s just been a peaceful, happy place to come home to. I remember walking back from my mum’s, feeling flustered and rushed, and the moment I stepped into the orchard, everything just softened. That feeling never left.”

Our thoughts…

Homes like this don’t come around very often. It’s not just the size, or the garden, or the fact that you’ve got a studio and three garages. It’s the feeling. There’s something incredibly grounding about this house. You feel it the moment you step through the gate.

Set back on its own generous plot of approximately half an acre in Easton on the Hill, this is a house that’s full of light, privacy and history. You’re right on the edge of the village, so you’ve got neighbours nearby (but far enough away), walks, a pub and a real community. But as soon as you arrive, you’re in your own peaceful world.

The kitchen is big, bright and built for real life. There’s loads of storage and workspace, room for a table, and it just has that “everyone ends up in the kitchen” energy. There’s a walk-in pantry for all the practical bits, and tucked beyond that is the utility, a handy space to keep the laundry out of sight. The kitchen also connects to the rear hallway, where you’ll find a downstairs WC and access to the dining room and outdoors. Everything’s just where it should be, and it works well.

The living room runs the full depth of the house, with a big bay window at the front and a beautiful sense of space and light. It’s a room that works just as well for quiet evenings as it does for big family get-togethers. Whether you're curled up on the sofa or hosting a room full of guests, there's space to stretch out and make it your own. Glazed wooden pocket doors lead into the study, which then opens through to the dining room. It’s a lovely layout that gives you flexibility when you want it and separation when you need it. The dining room itself is perfectly placed, opening straight out onto the garden patio, with enough space to host a crowd or just enjoy a quiet morning coffee with the doors open.

Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, plus a fourth single that would work well as a nursery, home office or dressing room. All the bedrooms are flooded with light and provide plenty of space. The bathroom is bright and well laid out, with a separate shower and bath, WC, basin and more built-in storage.

And then you step outside. The garden wraps right around the house, with lawn to the front, a peaceful Japanese-style gravel garden complete with pond to one side, and the orchard at the back. This space has been shaped and loved over the decades. It’s been used as a playground, a quiet retreat, a party venue, a place to grow veg or pick apples straight from the tree. There’s a real feeling of freedom here. No one overlooking. Just sky, trees and birdsong.

There’s a double garage, a separate storage garage and a detached studio, formerly used as a pottery workshop, now bursting with potential. Whether you’re creative, need a home office, want to explore conversion (subject to permissions) or just want a brilliant workspace, it’s all here.

The house itself has grown and evolved over the years. It’s been sensitively extended and incredibly well looked after. And while there’s room to take it further if you want to, there’s no rush. It works beautifully as it is. It feels like a forever home you can continue to mould and make your own for the rest of your life.

The village is the kind of place people stay. The pub is fantastic. There’s a great playing field with a cricket pitch, football and a proper playground. The Deeps nature reserve is just across the road, a hidden gem of woodland and wildlife, and Stamford is only minutes away when you need schools, shops or a train to London.

This is the kind of home that doesn’t need dressing up. It’s light, spacious, private and full of soul. If you’re looking for somewhere that gives you space to breathe, space to grow and space to live, this might just be it.
