4 bedroom detached house for sale

Stone House, 87 Leek Road – A Rare Opportunity to Restore, Renovate & Develop in Prime Mossley

Brimming with charm, character and untapped potential, Stone House is a striking four-bedroom detached residence set within vast mature gardens in one of Congleton’s most sought-after areas – the leafy, prestigious village of Mossley.

A home with history and soul, this former gentleman’s residence features beautiful original details throughout – high ceilings, ornate plasterwork, arched entranceways and deep-set windows – all waiting to be lovingly restored. Offering over 1,760 sq. ft. of internal space, including four bedrooms and three reception rooms, plus a detached garage 33’ x 15’ and outbuildings, the scope for transformation is significant.

But that’s not all. Within the grounds, the current owners have secured outline planning permission (Cheshire East Ref: 24/2657C) for two, three-bedroom semi-detached homes. The proposed plot spans approx. 653 sq.m., offering developers and self-builders an exciting chance to create quality new homes in an established, in-demand location.

The main home itself would make a superb renovation project for a growing family, with an expansive ground floor including a 23ft dual-aspect lounge, bay-fronted sitting room, formal dining room and a kitchen, all flooded with natural light. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a large family bathroom provide generous space and flexibility. Extensive gardens to the front, side and rear provide seclusion, scope for landscaping, or space to entertain, relax or extend (subject to further consent).

Outside

• Mature, private gardens with expansive lawns
• Detached garage (over 33ft long) plus outbuilding and WC
• Outline planning permission granted for two 3-bedroom semi-detached dwellings
• Ample parking and gated entrance
