Detached house for sale in Stoke-on-Trent ST4, 3 Bedroom

Let me take you back to the early 1800's, it was a time of immense social change in Britain, with the Industrial Revolution in full flow. It was a prosperous era as entrepreneurs extended the range of their business around the globe and a period that brought the vocabulary of classical architecture to smaller and more modest buildings. It was also when this fantastic house on Hill Street in Stoke was built. It ceased to be a gentleman’s residence early in the 20th century when the building’s many commercial incarnations began - first as a boot factory, later a tiled fireplace works, a pool hall, a motorbike shop and a painter and decorators’ premises until it was bought by the present owner in 1990 and following restoration became what it is today; a joinery workshop and showroom on the ground floor and living accommodation on the two floors above.

Upon entering the property via the truly magnificent stone porch with Tuscan columns and a nicely proportioned front door (a replica of the original), you will discover a panelled hallway with quarry floor tiles that leads to the workshop and a showroom with a genuine pine and gesso Adam-style fireplace and the original pitch pine floor. Beyond the workshop lie a toilet and a store room with a cellar below that extends to about a third of the building's footprint. The living accommodation comprises a dual aspect lounge with fully functioning period fireplace, a kitchen diner that was lovingly made by the current owner and a bathroom featuring a cast iron bath and matching cabinet, both with marble surrounds. There are also two bedrooms on the first floor, one of which is currently used as a music room and provides access to the third bedroom on the second floor which features reclaimed pine floor boards and leads to a spacious walk in loft.
Externally, the front features a cobbled driveway, while at the rear there is an enclosed yard housing a garage/workshop and an office providing the potential to be used for a variety of purposes. This distinguished building awaits its next incarnation and offers a rare opportunity to run a business near to the town centre while living above the premises surrounded by the feel of its original Georgian splendour.
