An attractive former private residence originally built in 1862 of brick elevations with sandstone windowsill and lintel details supporting pitched roof surfaces finished in slate. More recently the property has been used as a clinic, although would also be suitable for office purposes. The property is positioned within a well-proportioned plot with main road frontage to Newport Road and parking to the front and side and also benefits from a large lawned garden to the rear. There is also a former coach house providing garaged parking and first floor storage. Internally the property is beautifully presented and retains many of its original Victorian features generating a real wow factor, to include the original Minton floor in the entrance hall, original cornicing, and ceiling roses. The internal layout remains largely unchanged although a couple of rooms have been sub-divide with stud partitioning, all of which could easily be removed if required.
Location
The property is set back slightly from the main road, although the plot has extensive roadside frontage and a dual access car park to the front with an additional parking to the side. The area is mainly dominated by good quality period housing flacking Newport Road and is within 200 yards of the new by-pass which connects the A34 to the north. Newport Road (A518) is one of the principal roads into Stafford and the property is approx. ½ a mile to the west of the town centre.
