Description

5 The Lane, formally known as the public house ‘The Slater’s Arms’ during the late 19th - early 20th century, has an enviable position in the heart of the conservation area of the sought-after village, Easton on the Hill.

A period property, built in the beginning of the 1800s, of stone under a Collyweston slate roof, 5 The Lane is unlisted and has been beautifully updated throughout since the current owners moved there in 2009.

On entering the property from The Lane, turning right in the light reception hall is the kitchen- diner of QKS design boasting a range cooker, Belfast sink, granite work tops, double pantry unit and kitchen island with oak work top. The rear porch, with barn door, opens onto the garden. The utility, off the kitchen-diner, has plumbing for washing machine and tumble dryer as well as a further pantry unit and storage cupboards. Flowing through from the utility is a large, triple aspect drawing room which leads round to the reception hall from which there is a downstairs WC, separate study/snug and access to the cellar which features a window that would have been the original barrel hatch when the property was The Slater’s Arms.

The entirety of the ground floor benefits from underfloor heating.

Alighting the stairs, walking along the original wooden flooring to the rear of the property is the Principal suite with ample built in wardrobes and stunning ensuite bathroom featuring walk-in, rain-head shower and freestanding roll top bath.

To the front of the property are a further four double bedrooms with views over The Lane. One of the bedrooms has an ensuite and there is a family bathroom with bath and shower overhead. Completing the spacious, family home is a large loft space that is boarded, ideal for storage.


Outside

5 The Lane is accessed either directly from The Lane or via the 5 bar gate from the gravel drive to the rear porch.

A sheltered, gravel courtyard sweeps round to a dining terrace from which there is a raised formal lawn enclosed by a stone wall. Nestled in the back corner of the garden is a little stone store and the remnants of the beautiful dovecote, brimming with potential for conversion (subject to planning permission).


Cottage

Located at the end of the driveway is a charming cottage. Originally built in 1831, the cottage was renovated, using the original stone of the building and completed with a new slate roof.

On entering the cottage there is a fantastic kitchen-living-dining area with vaulted ceilings and feature stone wall with double doors onto the courtyard garden. Flooded with natural light from the electric controlled and rain sensitive sky lights, the newly installed kitchen has built-in appliances and Belfast sink. The kitchen island creates a very sociable space as well as further preparation area.

Similarly, to the main house, the cottage benefits from underfloor heating on the ground floor and high-quality oak doors throughout. To the right of the front door is a large room with ensuite shower room. A separate WC completes the ground floor accommodation. Stairs, with oak banisters, rise to another spacious room also with ensuite shower room. There is also a boarded loft accessed via a loft ladder.
