Oulton Road, Stone

A fine Edwardian family home in arguably one of the best positions in the whole of Stone, in a quiet position on the edge of town with far reaching views over rolling countryside and yet still enjoying the convenience of having the town on the doorstep.The Beeches has undergone extensive refurbishment in its present ownership and has been transformed into beautifully presented and spacious family home which successfully blends the heritage of the original building with striking contemporary touches. The program of upgrading includes new double glazed windows throughout, electrical re-wiring, pressurised hot water system, bespoke kitchen and re-modelling of the top floor to provide an en-suite guest room and sixth bedroom, complemented by new carpets, decor and window dressings throughout. The Beeches occupies a large plot extending in total to approximately 0.6 acres with extensive lawn areas and plenty of opportunity for outdoor living. In our opinion arguably the finest house currently for sale in Stone and conclusive proof that it is possible to enjoy the best of both worlds.
