A rare and quite remarkable 5/6 Bedroom family home impressively set in a
generous 1. 04 acres of land with stunning views South and West over the formal
gardens. Built in 1895 this incredible Victorian Villa was originally part of
a larger property and is rich in period features. Whilst it is palatial and
spacious, it is manageable as a family home. In a Tudor baronial style with
Renaissance influence, architecturally incorporating towers/terraces
externally and displays fine examples of leaded came and coloured light work
windows. The particularly fine main central Reception Hall, ideal for parties
and entertaining, is of regal proportions and enjoys an impressive fireplace.
The Grade II listed property is located within a highly desirable and much
coveted area of West Park, an area served by West Park Primary School and High
Tunstall Secondary School.
The property enjoys a sense of occasion on approach, set back from the Idyllic
Park opposite beyond a high walled perimeter with electric gates welcoming you

around the majority of the house. The interior is befitting of the
architectural style and grandeur, finished to an extremely high standard with
high ceilings throughout.
