Description

This Grade II listed property offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a substantial home with significant renovation potential. Spanning over 4,500 sq ft and situated on a generous 0.59-acre plot, the residence is located just half a mile from Stafford's main train station, providing excellent connectivity to major cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham. Arranged over three floors, the house features an accommodating layout that includes multiple reception rooms, a conservatory, a kitchen/breakfast room complete with a pantry, four double bedrooms on the first floor along with a fifth single bedroom. While the interiors are in need of modernisation, this presents an ideal canvas for restoration into an impressive family home or even potential redevelopment opportunities (subject to obtaining necessary consents). The external grounds provide ample space with mature gardens and specimen trees that enhance privacy and setting. Accessed via a driveway leading to a parking area and single garage, this property is set back from the road and benefits from tranquility despite its proximity to urban conveniences. Historically, there have been lapsed planning permissions allowing for conversion into apartments as well as the possibility of adding another dwelling within the grounds. Such past approvals suggest promising avenues for investment should prospective buyers wish to explore development options further. Stafford itself is a vibrant town offering a mix of national retailers, independent shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. With easy access to Junction 13 of the M6 motorway just over three miles away and both Birmingham and Manchester airports within an hour’s drive, the location is well-suited for families and commuters alike. Additionally, there are several reputable schools in the vicinity, enhancing its appeal for families. This property's combination of historical significance and spacious living presents not only an opportunity for restoration but also for strategic investment in one of Stafford's accessible neighborhoods. Vacant possession allows for immediate engagement with renovation plans or reimagining its use entirely.
