For Sale6 Bedroom Detached House in Newport Road, Stafford, Staffordshire, ST16£750,000

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a grade II listed, 4,500 sq ft Georgian residence in need of modernisation set in approx. 0.59 acres in Stafford town. The Hawthorns Set amongst a mature garden plot yet moments from Stafford town centre, The Hawthorns presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Regency house with the accommodation totalling in excess of 4,500 sq. ft. on an expansive plot of approx. 0.59 acres. Thought to have been constructed in the early 1800s, the house has a plethora of notable architectural features such as a Tuscan aedicule, wedge lintels, 16 pane sashes and cross-axial chimneys. Now in need of substantial refurbishment, the property could suit a variety of uses both residential and commercial (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). Historically there is a now lapsed planning application for a detached dwelling in the grounds. The accommodation is set across three floors with the entrance hall offering access to all ground floor accommodation. There is a spacious sitting room which in turn leads onto a family room with a bay window overlooking the garden. The dining room opens to a traditional wooden conservatory which has recently had significant restoration works completed. The kitchen breakfast room occupies the remainder of the ground floor and includes a pantry. A staircase leads down from the entrance hall to the lower ground floor. Currently used for storage and with separate side access, there are five well proportioned rooms that could be incorporated into additional accommodation as required. Upstairs The original staircase rises from the entrance hall to a bright first floor landing which includes a roof lantern. There are a total of five double bedrooms at first floor level, with the principal bedroom having a useful walk in closet area off. There are two bathrooms and a long storage room. Grounds Well screened from the road, a driveway provides access to a large parking area which continues down one side of the house itself to a single garage. Extending to approx. 0.59 acres, the spacious plot is interspersed by specimen trees and mature shrubs which make The Hawthorns extremely private.
