This Grade II listed property, originally established in the mid-17th century, offers a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. Formerly a grammar school and more recently, a nursing home until September 2018, the building stands as a striking example of historical architecture with its classic brick facade and multiple gabled roofs.
Nestled in the charming village of Audlem near Crewe, this detached residence features expansive interiors rich with period details such as exposed wooden beams and traditional staircases. While currently unfurnished, these sizable rooms provide an ideal blank canvas ripe for customization to suit modern living or potential commercial use.
The property is set within generous grounds that lend themselves well to landscaping or the addition of outdoor amenities. Although designated parking is not included at this time, the ample outdoor space presents opportunities for future parking solutions to enhance functionality.
Crewe’s well-connected transport links amplify the property's appeal. Minutes away from local shops, schools, and public transport options, it benefits from Crewe’s railway heritage as a pivotal junction on the UK rail network, facilitating easy access to larger cities.
Investors will find substantial potential here for development, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. With over 12,000 square feet of available space—including large reception areas and previously configured bedrooms—this property can be transformed into a bespoke residence or adapted for commercial purposes.
The grounds include a paved driveway accessed via Vicarage Lane and walled gardens that feature mature trees and inviting outdoor spaces. This property not only represents a significant piece of Crewe's architectural history but also presents an exceptional chance to create something distinctively new in a desirable location.
