## Description

Call us **9AM - 9PM** -**7 **days a week, **365** days a year!

**Oak-ay… this is nice. With single-storey living, a bright conservatory and a garden that invites you to slow things down, this two-bedroom bungalow on Oak Avenue offers comfort, simplicity and space in all the right places. From morning coffee in the conservatory to evenings in the garden, it’s a home designed for easy living from the moment you arrive.**

Oak Avenue enjoys a convenient Stafford location with access to local amenities, transport links and everyday essentials, making it a great option for those looking to downsize or enjoy life on one level.

The property is approached via a two-car driveway which includes a covered car port, providing both convenience and protection from the elements.

There are two access points into the home, one leading into the main entrance hallway and the other into the conservatory. The conservatory is a particularly appealing space, with large glass windows and a door opening directly onto the garden, making it ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

Just off the conservatory sits the kitchen, arranged in a practical galley style layout with space under the counter for appliances such as a fridge, freezer or washing machine. A freestanding oven with four-burner electric hob is in place, while a window overlooks the rear garden.

The kitchen leads through to the lounge, a spacious and comfortable reception room centred around a gas fireplace. Double French doors open out onto the garden, allowing natural light to fill the space and creating a seamless connection to the outdoors.

From the lounge, access leads back through to the main entrance hallway, which features a wooden floor and provides access to the bedrooms and shower room.

The accommodation includes one double bedroom and one single bedroom, both benefitting from ample built-in wardrobes. The shower room sits opposite and is well presented, while additional storage is provided by a cupboard housing the boiler and a further smaller cupboard.

Outside, the rear garden begins with a paved area directly outside the house before opening out to a generous lawn. Flower borders sit in each corner, and a small tree positioned centrally adds a pleasant focal point to the space.

A well-balanced bungalow offering comfortable living, practical layout and a garden ready to be enjoyed.
