Property description
A rare opportunity to own a real piece of Stoke-on-Trent heritage, this stunning Grade II listed cottage was commissioned circa 1857 by Herbert Minton, proprietor of the famous Minton's ceramics and pioneer of Majolica ware, for workers at his factory. The cottage occupies the end position of a row of similar properties, designed by the award-winning nineteenth century architect Sir George Gilbert Scott, who was also responsible for the Albert Memorial in London, and the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Station. Built in the Gothic revival style, the cottage maintains many of its original features, and has been tastefully maintained throughout. The property is gas central heated, with living accommodation comprising entrance porch with Minton tiled flooring, central hallway, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room and bathroom at ground floor level, with three bedrooms to the first floor. Set back from the road and sheltered at the front by a row of trees, the property boasts a driveway to the side, leading to a single detached garage. To the rear is a mature split level garden, with lawn and patio areas, shrubs and trees. Available with no upward chain.
