Description

This four-bedroom extended bungalow, positioned on a tranquil residential road in Stafford, presents an exciting opportunity for keen renovators or investors. Constructed in 1966 and expanded in 1976, the property offers ample space and a solid foundation for modernisation. While it currently features a welcoming entrance hallway, fitted kitchen, spacious lounge-diner, and four generously sized bedrooms, the home is ripe for refurbishment to realise its full potential. The desirable location boasts excellent transport links via Stafford Train Station, which provides direct connections to major cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool, and London Euston—making it ideal for commuters. The property's layout includes a family bathroom alongside an additional separate WC. Outside, the bungalow sits on a commendable plot with a private side driveway leading to both a carport and single garage. The expansive rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting and a patio seating area—an inviting space for outdoor activities. It's important to note that the property has existing structural concerns attributed to ground heave from clay soil, which will need expert attention during renovations. This aspect signifies the need for significant investment but also highlights potential value increase through comprehensive improvements. Buyers seeking a project that promises long-term rewards will find this bungalow particularly appealing.
