Description

This four-bedroom extended bungalow, originally constructed in 1966 and later expanded in 1976, presents a unique investment opportunity for those looking to tap into its renovation potential. Located on the sought-after Matthews Road in Stafford, this chain-free property boasts ample living space but requires a fresh vision to unlock its full value. The layout features an inviting entrance hallway, a fitted kitchen, a spacious lounge-diner, and four generously-sized bedrooms, along with a family bathroom and separate WC. Set on a quiet residential street, the property benefits from a private side driveway leading to both a carport and single garage. The expansive rear garden, primarily laid to lawn with mature plantings and a patio area, offers space for outdoor activities and relaxation. Notably, there are structural issues related to ground heave due to clay soil that will need addressing—a factor that adds significant renovation considerations. This home is ideally situated near excellent transport links at Stafford Train Station for easy commutes to major cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool, and London Euston. With strategic refurbishment efforts, this residence could be transformed into an impressive family home or an attractive investment property.
