Drayton Road, Hodnet

BRIEF DESCRIPTION An imposing Three Storey Seven Bedroom Grade II Listed Detached Georgian House with enormous potential to be a stunning family home! It does need updating throughout, so this would be a wonderful opportunity to renovate to your own style, whilst making the most of the original features, light and space if offers.

The property is offered to the market by the Modern Method of Auction (full details below) so has No Upward Chain, so could soon be your next project!

Throughout the property you'll find original features such as latch doors and sash windows. The front door opens to the Hallway with stairs to the first floor and large understairs cupboard. To your right is the Dining Room with a sash window to the front, and to your left is the Living Room with a further original sash window and an electric fire in a tiled surround.

The Kitchen has some base units, plumbing for a washing machine, pantry and a solid fuel 'Aga' style cooker that powers the two radiators - one in the Hall and one in the Shower Room. Off the Kitchen is the rear Porch and the ground floor WC.

To the first floor are two large Double Bedrooms to the front of the property, two further Bedrooms and the Shower Room. Moving up to the second floor, and all the rooms here will need renovating, with one room needing to be completed as it has only previously been used for storage. To the rear of the property, and integral to the main house, is a large workshop with light and power and a door that opens into the Garage.

Externally, the property sits on a large Garden plot of approximately 0.3 acres. To the front of the house is a low brick wall, and to the left is a gate leading to the pathway that goes around the side of the property to the rear Porch, where you'll also find the brick built coal store and further store shed. To the right is the Garage and the current vendors used to park their cars on the garden space here. To the rear of the property is a large lawned Garden with kitchen garden area, greenhouse and mature pear and apple trees.

This gorgeous house does need updating throughout, but it offers you a rare opportunity to own and bring back to life one of the prominent homes in this pretty village. It's essential you view to get a real feel for the potential it offers and the work involved - so, to arrange a viewing, please call the team at our Market Drayton office.
