GUIDE PRICE £799,995 – £825,000. Majestic former farmhouse currently in the process of extensive renovation allowing the opportunity to have significant input to its final finish and specification, occupying a good sized south facing plot extending to over 0.6 acre with far reaching views.
Already re-roofed with retained Staffordshire blue tiles and repointed, viewing and consideration of this extremely attractive 1800’s former farmhouse is essential to appreciate the opportunity to ‘partner’ alongside the current developer to finish, spec and complete to your individual wishes, with the result being a hugely impressive ‘new home in an old shell’. Providing well-proportioned and planned, balanced family sized accommodation set over three floors (plus a cellar) occupying a good-sized plot with its south facing garden enjoying far reaching views over the surrounding farmland and countryside.
Set back from Uttoxeter Road and forming part of an exclusive development with attractive traditional barn conversions behind, on the rural outskirts of the highly regarded and sought-after canal town of Stone. Situated approximately just over a mile from the town centre with its wide range of amenities including public house and restaurants, coffee houses and bars, schools, leisure centre, independent shops and supermarkets including a Marks & Spencer Food Hall. The towns of Uttoxeter and Stafford are both within easy commutable distance, with the close-by A51 an A34 dual carriageway providing excellent transport links to the surroundings and to the M6 motorway. Stone Railway Station is approximately a 10 minute drive away with connections to London.

The first-floor landing has stairs rising to the second-floor accommodation comprising generously sized bedrooms which could all accommodate ensuite facilities depending on your household’s needs, though current plans provide only the master with such facilities, plus a family bathroom.
