A compact three-bedroom semi-detached home on Furness Grove, suitable for first-time buyers wanting an affordable entry into Stafford. The property offers a bright living room and an open-plan kitchen diner, plus off-street parking and an enclosed rear garden — all with no onward chain, making a quick move practical.
The house is modest in size (approximately 753 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so it’s best for buyers looking to trade up from flats or start a family with lower running costs. Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s, it has double glazing (installed before 2002) and a mains gas boiler with radiators; energy efficiency could be improved by adding wall insulation and modern heating controls.
Location is a clear strength: short walk to local amenities, regular bus routes, and a short drive to Stafford town centre and commuter links. Nearby schools include several good-rated primaries and secondaries, plus an independent grammar school. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for home working.
Notable downsides are the small overall and garden size and an assumed lack of cavity wall insulation, which may mean higher heating costs until upgraded. There’s a single bathroom and the wider area is classified as more deprived with a “hampered neighbourhoods” local profile and average crime levels — important to consider for long-term plans or rental potential. The home is practical and affordable as a first purchase but will reward modest investment in insulation and modernisation.
