3 Bedroom Detached House

What the owner told us…

“It has been such a big part of my family’s life. Growing up here, then later watching my own wife and children enjoy the same space, that’s something very special.”

“There’s a wonderful view down the valley towards Stamford. As a child, I used to love seeing the Big Wheel lit up at night when the Mid-Lent Fair was in town.”

Our Thoughts…

If you are looking for a home with heart, history and light in all the right places, this could be exactly what you have been waiting for.

Built in 1959 by respected local builders Cope Brothers, this detached three bedroom bungalow was considered quite cutting edge for its time. The original plans came from the Ideal Home Exhibition and featured a central heat source and a dramatic glazed end to the living room, something that felt wonderfully modern in the late 50s. Even today, that wall of glass and those patio doors are a real highlight. When the sun pours in, the whole space comes alive.

The bungalow has remained in the same family since it was built. Over the years it has gently evolved. In the late 60s the living room was extended and an additional bedroom added, and in the 70s the kitchen was enlarged to create the layout you see today. The result is a home that feels spacious, airy and incredibly welcoming.

The living and dining room is undoubtedly the star of the show. It is large, open plan and full of natural light, with doors opening out to the garden and a dining area that enjoys lovely views down the valley towards Stamford. It is easy to see why this became the heart of family life here over the years. There is a subtle change in level that has been used as a dining space for family gatherings, although the room is flexible enough to suit many different layouts. You can easily imagine long Sunday lunches, Christmas mornings, or simply sitting down with a quiet cup of coffee and letting the light pour in.

The kitchen was renovated in September 2019 and is in great condition, offering a fresh, modern feel while still connecting beautifully to the main living space. There are two double bedrooms, a further single bedroom, and a family bathroom in good order. The boiler is just two years old, under warranty, and was last serviced in April 2025, which gives real peace of mind. Windows and patio doors were replaced in 2015, with the bathroom window updated in 2019.

Outside, the garden faces southeast, so you benefit from lovely morning and daytime sun. It is a manageable size, perfect if you want outdoor space without being tied to constant maintenance. There is a garage and driveway providing space for one vehicle in each, and the property is approached via an unadopted road. The land to the east is now a village pocket park, gifted to the village by the Burghley Estate in recognition of the late Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, which adds to the sense of openness and community around you.

Easton on the Hill itself is one of those villages people move to and rarely want to leave. You are surrounded by countryside yet just moments from Stamford, with its independent shops, cafes, schools and train links. It offers that perfect balance between rural calm and practical convenience. The neighbours are known to be friendly and helpful, and there is a genuine sense of village pride here.

The owner describes the home in three words: peaceful, light, embracing. And that really does sum it up. There is something about single storey living, generous windows and a garden that catches the sun that just makes life feel simpler.

It is important to note that the property is currently vacant, and some of the internal images you see have been digitally furnished using AI to help you visualise how the rooms could look. The scale and layout are accurate, but the furniture is for illustration purposes only.

Outside, the garden faces southeast, so you benefit from lovely morning and daytime sun. When the warmer months arrive and everything is in full bloom, it becomes a really lovely, manageable outdoor space that catches the light beautifully. It is the kind of garden that works well for relaxed afternoons, a bit of planting if you enjoy it, or simply somewhere to sit and unwind without feeling overwhelmed by maintenance.

This is a freehold property, council tax band D, of brick and block construction with clay tiled roofing, gas central heating and mains services. The boiler is just two years old, under warranty, and was last serviced in April 2025. Windows and patio doors were replaced in 2015, with the bathroom window updated in 2019.

The flat roof kitchen extension has previously been subject to minor subsidence (exterior kitchen door entrance). The issue has been professionally rectified and fully resolved, and a Certificate of Structural Adequacy is held to confirm the works carried out.
