A period property, believed to be the original ‘Vicarage’ more recently converted into a licensed (now expired) 11 bedroom HMO. Built of brick elevations with decorative brick eaves details and hipped gable ends, the property is arranged over two floors and comprises a mixture of single rooms, some of which have their own kitchenette and bathroom. The property now requires refurbishment and modernisation and as such is being sold with vacant possession. There are well proportioned gardens to the front and rear with the majority of the rear garden serving as parking. There are also two large garages to the rear, each of which can accommodate 4 cars, which could potentially be converted into additional living accommodation, subject to planning.
Location
The property occupies an enviable position on The Avenue, opposite fine residences backing onto the Mere and is immediately adjacent to Saint Mary Magdalene church. Although positioned in a quiet and private location the centre of Alsager is only 300 yards, within which a wide range of shops and restaurants are located. Alsager, with a 2011 population of 11,775, is a popular town with excellent transport links to Crewe, Junction 16 of the M6 and Stoke-on-Trent whilst at the same time being surrounded by open countryside.
