Millstone House presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a historically significant property that is ripe for restoration. Located in the charming hamlet of Butterton, this expansive residence spans over 320 square meters and boasts a fascinating history, believed to have originated as a village pub before being enhanced during the Victorian era. Characterized by its striking red-brick façade, featuring classic Victorian elements such as gables and bay windows, the property is an ideal canvas for transformation.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a central reception hall with traditional parquet flooring that sets a grand tone. The ground floor offers three generously sized reception rooms with high ceilings and original open fireplaces—perfect spaces for either formal gatherings or relaxed family time. Additionally, the farmhouse kitchen is equipped with an oil-fired Aga and complemented by a practical side hallway that leads to a walk-in cool pantry.
The first floor comprises five spacious double bedrooms, including two principal suites with dressing rooms, serviced by two family bathrooms. Outside, the extensive grounds include mature gardens on three sides, remnants of previously landscaped areas waiting for rejuvenation, as well as a productive orchard along the northern boundary.
Accessed via gates leading to a sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking, the property also features a detached garage and interconnected outbuildings that hold great potential for various uses such as workshops or storage. Although Millstone House requires significant renovation and modernization efforts, it stands as an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke family home in an idyllic setting.
Moreover, there are plans for potential development opportunities on adjacent land while ensuring privacy for Millstone House itself. With convenient access to amenities in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Junction 15 of the M6 motorway just minutes away, this property combines the allure of countryside living with accessibility.
