This extended four-bedroom detached bungalow on Matthews Road offers spacious single-storey living and strong commuter links to Birmingham, Liverpool and London via Stafford station. Chain-free and sold at public auction, it suits buyers able to act quickly and pay required auction fees.
Set on a generous plot, the property includes a private side driveway, carport, single garage and a large rear garden with mature borders and a slabbed seating area. Internally there is a lounge-diner, fitted kitchen, family bathroom, separate WC and four well-proportioned bedrooms providing flexible accommodation for families or conversion projects.
Significant refurbishment is required. The house has structural damage from ground heave related to local clay soils; a specialist survey will detail remedial costs. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the dated kitchen and fittings will need modernising — both factors to allow for in budgets.
For investors or experienced DIY buyers this is a clear value-add opportunity: an enlarged 1960s bungalow with scope to reconfigure or improve for capital gain. Note the property is sold freehold at auction, involves a buyer’s administration fee and legal pack requirements — bidders should review all documentation and obtain professional advice before purchase.
