9 bedroom detached house for sale

The Radfords originated as a typical Georgian farmhouse, formerly standing just outside Stone amidst the lovely countryside that surrounds the town today. As Stone grew large, The Radfords was transformed in Victorian times to become one of the finest houses in the town. Substantial additions to the front produced a most handsome residence with an imposing entrance and impressive double storey projecting bays with arched windows and fine stonework. The entire house is built of mellow brick elevations beneath slate roofs.
The interior presents extensive accommodation with light rooms and a flexible layout retaining many of its original architectural features including generous ceiling heights, tall skirtings, panelled archways, attractive fireplaces and some splendid ceiling cornicing. There is a separate Georgian self contained two bedroom coach house at the rear of the property.
The Radfords has been particularly well maintained and is suitable for immediate occupation.
