Set on a very large, secluded plot adjoining woodland, this traditional three-bedroom detached house offers substantial family living and clear scope for improvement. The layout includes two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, utility and cloakroom on the ground floor, with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. A long private driveway leads to a detached double garage and generous parking.
The gardens are a standout feature: lawned areas, mature trees and hedging give privacy and attractive outlooks across the Staffordshire countryside. The plot offers genuine extension potential (subject to planning), making the house a strong long-term proposition for buyers wanting to increase living space or create annexe accommodation.
Practical considerations are important. The property has been well lived in since the 1970s but needs modernisation throughout and some building fabric upgrades — walls are cavity-built with no insulated fill (assumed), and double glazing installation dates are unknown. Heating and services require attention: an oil tank is on site and there is a gas-fired boiler and radiators, plus private drainage via a septic tank. Flood risk for the area is recorded as high and council tax is band F (expensive), both material factors for buyers to check.
This home will suit families seeking space, privacy and countryside access who are prepared to undertake renovation work to refresh interiors and improve thermal performance. The asking price reflects the need for updating and the potential the plot provides for expansion or reconfiguration.
