A GEORGIAN home in need of a major refurbishment near Kidderminster is now on the market - with a guide price of £2million.
Stone House is a Grade-II listed manor house, complete with separate accommodation in converted stables.
The home originally dates back to 1500, with the majority of the house being built later in the 1700s in the Queen Anne style.
The Stables, a former Coach House on the land, has been developed into a completely independent property.
In total the property, which sits on 10.92 acres of land in Stone, has 12 bedrooms and four bathrooms. Stone House also features a ballroom and library.
One of the bedroom windows to the front elevation has been engraved with the inscription ‘Thomas Burnidge, butler to James Scarvin Esquire’ together with the recorded date of April 10 1788.
The vendors have started restoring the home by putting in place a new roof and handmade windows throughout.
Estate agents Savills estimate that between £500,000 to £750,000 would be needed to refurbish the property.
Tony Morris-Eyton, head of country sales at Savills in Telford, said: “The sale of Stone House represents a fabulous opportunity for the buyer to put their own stamp on this splendid country home.
"While a significant refurbishment of this listed property is required, this truly is a sleeping beauty of a home that has enormous potential to be restored to its former glory.
"As well as separate, fully restored accommodation within the old stables – which has been renovated into a wonderful two-bedroom property - there is also a plan for a new leisure complex that has been drawn up by a leading architect, along with plans for the future orangery.”
Those interested in the property can view the listing on Rightmove or the Savills website.
