Full Description

Located in Market Drayton, Shropshire, Hesketh House is an impressive Georgian terrace, set on 0.17 acres. This seven-bedroom property is ideal for those seeking a countryside retreat, a second home, or a charming residence that could also serve as an office space. The house has a rich history, documented by deeds on vellum dating back to 1799, offering an engaging timeline of past transactions and providing valuable historical context.

The south-facing rear of the property offers stunning views across the Tern Valley, visible from all three floors.

Development Potential
New proposals are under consideration to design and develop two additional home units on the lower terrace of the property. Permission would be required to extend the existing tarmac and provide vehicle access to these new units, alongside a parking facility at the rear of Hesketh House accessible via the existing steps leading to the top terrace.
