5 bed detached house for sale

The Cobbles, Wheaton Aston, Stafford ST19

Holmcroft is a historic detached cottage dating back to the 18th century.
It originally served as the Hare & Hounds public house, an inn located within the village of Wheaton Aston.

After ceasing operation as the Hare & Hounds, the building transitioned into a private detached residence.
The property has been extended twice, according to modern property records, reflecting its adaptation over time from a working public house to a substantial family home.

Wonderfully positioned in the historic village of Wheaton Aston, this fantastic family home sits within its own spacious plot and carries an exceptional sense of heritage. Originally built in the 18th Century and once home to the former Hare & Hounds public house, this detached period cottage offers remarkable accommodation while retaining a wealth of charming original features. The property was also proudly featured on George Clarke’s Old House, New Home – Season 3, Episode 3, highlighting its unique character and carefully curated modern enhancements.

Beautifully presented with gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, the home opens with an imposing 17ft reception hallway with cloaks area, leading into a stunning modern 30ft dining kitchen complete with integrated appliances. An inner hallway gives access to the guest W/C, lounge, family room, utility room and cellar, creating a wonderfully versatile ground‐floor layout.

Across the upper floors are five spacious bedrooms, accompanied by two modern bathrooms, including an impressive recently refitted shower room.

A key highlight is the double detached garage, complete with workshop/store, along with a generous driveway and mature gardens to the fore and side. The rear enjoys a private patio garden enhanced by raised flower beds.

This rare and characterful home offers a unique blend of history, space and modern comfort—a truly exceptional property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
