Large period house with 3.29 acres, ideal for family buyers or a small hobby farm.
Grade II listed detached farmhouse over three storeys
An imposing Grade II listed Staffordshire farmhouse set in the centre of Hilderstone with about 3.29 acres of adjoining pasture. The house offers generous family accommodation over three storeys: four double bedrooms, three large attic rooms and principal reception rooms that retain character features such as exposed beams and original fireplaces. A private gravel driveway and rear parking serve the house, and the paddocks are stock‑fenced and suitable for horses or small‑scale hobby farming.
The sale is by public auction on 17 November 2025 and will suit a buyer able to proceed under auction conditions (10% deposit on the fall of the hammer; buyer’s premium applies). The property has had some partial renovation and benefits from a recently installed gas combi boiler with a guarantee, mains gas, water and electricity connected, and excellent mobile signal for rural working. The large plot and village location provide immediate countryside leisure potential while keeping good access to nearby towns and train links.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed which restricts alterations and may add cost and complexity to works. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no insulation (assumed) and the property requires further renovation throughout; heating is assumed to rely on portable electric heaters in many rooms currently. Broadband speeds are slow, drainage is via a private septic tank (buyers must satisfy themselves as to condition), and the EPC is G. Council Tax is currently Band G and may be expensive to occupiers.
This is a clear opportunity for buyers seeking a countryside family home or small holding who can manage listed‑building constraints and fund renovation. For those wanting quick occupation and a long‑term project, the combination of heavy internal space, outbuildings/drive access and nearly three and a half acres gives genuine scope to create a comfortable period home or small equestrian/education holding, subject to consents.
