Set within the sought-after village of Easton on the Hill, moments from the historic Georgian town of Stamford, Rock Cottage is a beautifully restored Grade II listed home of exceptional character. Stone-built with a Collyweston slate roof, this four-bedroom detached home dates back to 1761 and is believed to have originally been two cottages, seamlessly combined and thoughtfully remodelled over time. Approached through a gated entrance, a gravelled driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, while the outside space wraps gracefully around the house, offering a sense of space and privacy. From the moment you step inside, Rock Cottage reveals a rare balance of historic charm and refined modern living.

EPC Rating: E A Home Rich in Character The original front door opens directly into the sitting room - a truly atmospheric space that sets the tone for the home. Here, polished floorboards, whitewashed stone walls and exposed timber beams sit alongside two fireplaces: an original inglenook with bespoke alcove seating, and a working open fire with an elegant brass surround. It is a room designed for comfort and connection, equally suited to quiet evenings or relaxed entertaining. Steps lead you through the beautifully flowing ground floor, where every space feels considered yet individual. The Heart of the Home At the centre of the home lies the kitchen: a classic yet contemporary country space where flagstone floors, exposed stonework and beams are complemented by bespoke painted cabinetry. A Silestone-topped island with breakfast bar sits beside a woodburning stove set within another inglenook - perfect for informal dining and everyday living. The kitchen is well-equipped with a Belfast sink, Rangemaster oven and gas hob, and enjoys a practical external door from the driveway. Leading on, a light-filled garden room with additional storage and sink opens through French doors onto the rear terrace, effortlessly connecting inside and out. The dining room is particularly striking, combining wood panelling, iron-studded doors and a decorative cast-iron fireplace to create a dramatic and inviting setting for entertaining. Beyond, a snug offers a cosy retreat, while a polished hallway houses a charming panelled cloakroom. Elegant Bedrooms & Bathrooms Rock Cottage has four bedrooms, each with their own unique charm. The first three bedrooms are accessed from the sitting room – a shower room serves a generous double bedroom and a sweet single room currently used as a dressing room. The principal bedroom is a standout space: light, airy and beautifully detailed with a high decorative ceiling, beams, feature cornicing and plenty of built-in wardrobe space. An indulgent en suite bathroom completes the suite, featuring a walk-in shower, claw-foot roll-top bath with period fittings and ample storage - a calm and luxurious retreat. The fourth bedroom is cleverly positioned above the kitchen, accessed via characterful moveable steps. Currently used as a guest suite, it offers a bright double bedroom with its own en suite shower room, ideal for visitors or independent living. Outside Living Outside, the charm continues. A separate room beneath a timber façade to the side of the property - currently used for storage - offers exciting potential as a home office or studio (subject to the necessary permissions). The side garden features a lawn and timber shed, while the rear garden forms a sunny, covered courtyard accessed from the garden room. With space for both relaxing and entertaining, and elevated views across treetops and rooftops towards Stamford, it is a wonderful spot to unwind. Rock Cottage is a home of rare character and warmth - thoughtfully updated for modern life, yet deeply rooted in its history. A truly special village home in one of Lincolnshire’s most desirable locations.
