Eccleshall provides a superb range of amenities including a large convenience store, doctors, dentists, optician, post office, restaurants, public houses, a number of independent boutiques and sports clubs. The market town is extremely popular and was recently voted one of the top fifty places to live by the Sunday Times. The property is also located a short distance away from the larger centre of Stafford (6 miles), the county town, which provides a wider range of amenities and is currently undergoing a £70 million redevelopment. Stafford provides access to Junction 14 of the M6 (4.5 miles) provides superb road links to Birmingham (35 miles) and Manchester (61 miles), as well as hosting an intercity train station which gives access to London Euston in just over one hour and twenty minutes.

History
Believed to have originated in the eighteenth century to form part of the Ranton Estate owned by Lord Lichfield, Anson Grange has a potted history. The now grand country house started life as a small cottage which was partially demolished in the late eighteenth century, believed to have be re-modeled to provide a row of small cottages. Part of this new addition was used as the village school room where the village children were once taught. In the eighteen twenties the newer additions were again re-modeled to make way for the imposing regency frontage that forms the main house today, and then finally in 1870, Lord Lichfield had the Drawing Room built as a wedding gift for his then tenants. The property became an independent concern in 2009, and was acquired by the current owners in 2011 in a dilapidated state and has since been sympathetically renovated in keeping with the period of the house but with modern day living in mind.
Accommodation
This notable residence has a superb balance of formal and informal accommodation, perfectly suited to modern day living. The main house is entered via a renovated Regency portico which leads through to a central hallway with notable features including Minton tiles, restored decorative arch and original front door bell. To the left of this impressive entrance is the sizeable dining room which is the perfect entertaining space complete with bespoke sandstone fireplace. Adjacent to the dining room is the grand drawing room which has been renovated in a formal style with feature bay window with bi-fold doors and dental coving. To the opposite side of the hallway is the everyday open plan family accommodation comprising bespoke solid oak fitted kitchen with mixed granite and oak worktops, matching solid oak fitted pantry and everyday sitting room. Positioned between the informal and formal accommodation is the vast guest WC with bespoke vanity and mirror unit. Conveniently located off the kitchen is the ancillary accommodation which comprises gym, shower room, boot room with access to cellar, laundry and store. The ancillary accommodation provides potential for further development into additional accommodation for a relative, staff or even a holiday let (S.T.P.P.).
