Grove Road, Stone, ST15

Three-Bedroom Semi-Detached Home | Chain Free | Ideal Renovation Project

A rare opportunity to buy a spacious 1930s-style semi-detached home on a generous plot and put your own stamp on it. The property is offered in need of full modernisation, and the price reflects that. Buyers who are ready to update will find a solid, well-laid-out house with excellent bones, a garage and driveway, mature gardens and plenty of room to add value.

Approached via a long driveway and set behind well-established gardens, 16 Grove Road is a semi-detached home with a great deal to offer the right buyer. It is being sold in need of modernisation throughout, with decoration, flooring, kitchen and bathroom all dated, and the pricing reflects the work required.

What the house does offer is a great foundation. The layout is sensible and generous; there is gas central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout, and the plot is larger than many of its neighbours. For a buyer with a vision, whether a first-time buyer wanting to build equity, a family looking for a home to grow into, or an investor or renovator, this is a chance to create something special in a popular part of Stone, without the premium of a finished home.

Ground Floor

The entrance hall gives access to the stairs and an under-stairs cupboard. The front lounge is a light, spacious room with a walk-in bay window overlooking the greenery, decorative coving and a carved wood fireplace surround. It is a fine room that would look very different with a fresh scheme.

To the rear, the sitting/dining room has full-height sliding patio doors opening onto the garden, and a further fireplace. With natural light and direct garden access already in place, it is a great candidate for a modern family space.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditional wood-style units, a double sink beneath a large window and space for a freestanding cooker, with plumbing for a washing machine and a door to the outside. It is functional but dated, and a full refit, or even opening up to the dining room (subject to structural advice and any necessary consents), could transform the ground floor.

First Floor

The landing is bright, with a large half-landing window. Bedroom one is a spacious double with a wide bay window, far-reaching front garden views towards the tree-lined A34  and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom two is a further generous double to the rear overlooking the patio. Bedroom three is a comfortable single or home office with an outlook over the front garden.

The family bathroom has a P-shaped bath with shower over and a pedestal basin, with a separate WC. Both are serviceable but would benefit from updating.

Outside

The front and side gardens are a real feature, with a lawn, mature flower beds, shrubs, a Japanese maple and a greenhouse. The long driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the integral garage. To the rear is a private paved patio with established borders.

The size of the plot and the garage give further scope to improve or extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions).

Location

Grove Road is a popular residential address in the market town of Stone, close to local shops, schools and amenities. It runs down the edge of A34, allowing quick and easy access to a key commuter link road to the town of Stafford and the City of Stoke on Trent, as well as junctions 14 and 15 of the M6 Motorway.
