Charming and characterful Grade II listed newly thatched cottage, ideally situated in the sought-after village of Easton, the home is beautifully presented throughout and boasts a number of period features. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn, boarded with mature planting beds which in Spring include an abundance of daffodils and snowdrops. Throughout Summer, stunning red and white roses bloom around the windows and the front door which leads into a spacious sitting room. The large inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner is both an attractive and practical central feature. The light oak exposed beams complete an authentic country cottage aesthetic. Next door to the sitting room is a study with a fine view of the front garden and a hallway leading into a well-appointed, generous sized open plan farmhouse kitchen/dining room. The kitchen includes base and eye level units with a range of integrated appliances as well as a central island. It also has plenty of dining space for entertaining with a table that can seat 10. Double doors leading out into the garden flood the room with natural light. A larger than usual utility room houses a butler sink, recently fitted boiler, washer and dryer and separate floor to ceiling fridge and freezer. It’s also the ideal space for pets. Within the utility room is a downstairs cloakroom and a stable door leads out to the 120 ft rear garden. The property benefits from two staircases which provide privacy for a growing family or guests. The first leads to a single and a double bedroom, with bedroom two benefiting from ample built in storage. Both are served by a modern family bathroom. The principal bedroom also has excellent built in storage and an en-suite shower room and is accessed via it’s own private staircase. The impressive large L shaped rear garden, enclosed by a brick and flint wall and tall mature trees, offers great privacy. The patio accessed directly from the kitchen is the perfect space to enjoy al fresco dining in the Summer months, with steps leading up to the garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a mature boarder. A vegetable patch enclosed with railway sleepers can be found to the rear of the garden with a workshop offering great potential, subject to planning, for an outdoor office with sweeping views of the sounding countryside. A gate at the rear of the garden leads an area of private parking which provides space for at least 3 vehicles.
