Property description
A stunning home, in an exquisite location and only for someone with impeccable taste! Does that sound like you? If that's a yes then let me entice you with a little more detail. Located in the much coveted private Victorian Estate in the heart of town, yet a short stroll to Stafford's mainline train station and town centre as well as a short drive to the M6. This large detached would have been a grand Gentleman's residence of great standing and still today has the attributes of such and many beautifully preserved and restored original features. As you enter you are greeted with a wonderful Minton tiled reception hallway with sweeping staircase leading up and doors leading off into three principal reception rooms all with generous windows and period fireplaces, also on the ground floor is the dining kitchen, scullery, laundry and guest cloakroom. The sweeping stairs lead up past a huge stained glass window onto a galleried landing opening into four large bedrooms and two bathrooms, both of which combine the Victorian era and todays demands in style. A second floor completes the bedroom compliment with two more double rooms. Outdoors a garage, garden store and potting shed add to the storage space as does the useful cellar. Gardens surround the property with a grey slate in and out driveway which further extends the length of the house and gates lead to the fully walled garden with generous lawns, formal patios and blue brick cobbled pathways. The property is situated on a private road which is gated at either end, with exclusive access to a private park. Available with no onward chain.
