Property description

You will be blown away by not just the grandeur of this amazing property but also by the sheer amount of space it offers for the money!!! In a village that dates back to the 11th century, with its earliest records being listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, take yourself to a time when horse and carriage would be a regular sight, hustle and bustle in the high street with a range of shops and on a Sunday, families congregating for service at the historical St Lawrence Church. The steam train still ran along the Shropshire Union railway line and a short walk from where the Gnosall railway station once was, stands a row of grand four storey garden villa style homes, built in 1899. The Hawthorns comes with NO CHAIN and has been beautifully retained with stunning original features throughout; including fireplaces in many rooms, many original doors and intriguing decorative ceiling detail. The multi-level living accommodation offers beautiful reception rooms with large windows, flooding the property with natural light. The current owners have adorned the interior with a charming mix of old and new; with a modern fitted kitchen with gloss units and Rangemaster cooker; the main bathroom having a stunning suite of his and hers vanity wash basins with frosted glass top, coordinated with a contemporary freestanding bath. There are four double bedrooms, those to the rear of the house enjoying some of the best views in the village! The large rear garden has a lawn that stretches right back from the house and its patio areas to the old railway line that is now a redeveloped footpath and cycle route which offers fantastic opportunity for many ambling Sunday morning walks...and from your garden you even have gate access to a set of steps to lead you straight there!
