21 bedroom house

Mavesyn Ridware is about ¾ mile from the village of Hill Ridware, about 7 miles northwest of the City of Lichfield and 14 miles from the County town of Stafford. Burton upon Trent is about 15 miles with Birmingham about 27 miles. Local facilities are available across the River Trent in Rugeley (about 5 miles). There is excellent communication with fast intercity train services from the nearby Trent Valley line at Rugeley (4 miles) or Lichfield. The A38 is about 7 miles providing good access to the motorway network.

Until recently, the house has been run for many years as a highly successful and popular Care Home by the current owners who have now decided to retire. Whilst the property could be re-established as a Care Home it is also considered that it would make a highly desirable home for one or more families given the size of the building which is about 590 square metres (approx 6350 sq ft). The property is therefore likely to be of interest to Care Home operators, Developers and homeowners.

The existing building provides 21 bedrooms, with around half having en-suite facilities, spread over two floors with a lift and two staircases. The accommodation includes a large, equipped kitchen, dining room, main lounge, two conservatories overlooking the rear garden, as well staff/office rooms and various stores.

We understand the building was originally a farmhouse before being extended on several occasions, mostly recently with the addition of the two conservatories. It is considered that, subject to planning consent, the building could conveniently be split into two or possibly three houses. A planning application is currently being prepared for submission to the planning authority. Further information is available upon request. There are two separate driveways serving the property and considering the size of the entire plot, there would be ample space to provide good gardens and parking for each dwelling.

Agents Note: Please note there is a small area of garden which has always been used by the current owners that is shown hatched red but which lies outside the registered title area.
