High Street, ST14

Riversholme is a substantial former guesthouse located in the sought-after village of Rocester, near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, with planning for the conversion into six self-contained apartments.

Set across four floors, the property offers a significant footprint with flexible living potential (subject to necessary permissions). Its original period features, including ornate coving, ceiling roses, and feature fireplaces, contribute to the property's unique character. Externally, the property is approached via an extensive private driveway and benefits from well-maintained, wrap-around gardens to the front, side, and rear.
