Play your cards right on Carder Avenue and this could be the family home you’ve been waiting for – with generous living space, three bedrooms and a garden that really knows how to make the most of a sunny day. Set within an established residential area of Stafford, this well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home has a lovely easy-going feel, with bright, comfortable rooms and a layout that works particularly well for everyday family life. Step through the front door and the hallway immediately sets the tone, with its warm wood-effect flooring, useful built-in storage and stairs rising to the first floor. There is also the added bonus of a ground floor WC tucked conveniently off the hall. The main living and dining room stretches impressively from front to back, giving you plenty of space to arrange separate areas for relaxing and dining without ever feeling divided. A large window brings plenty of light into the sitting area, while the dining end connects naturally through towards the rear of the house. It is the sort of room that can comfortably handle quiet evenings on the sofa just as easily as a house full of friends and family. The kitchen sits alongside and is fitted with a good range of contemporary white units, dark work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, with plenty of preparation and storage space. From here, the house opens into one of its real highlights – the conservatory. Rather than feeling like an afterthought, this is a genuinely usable additional reception space, with room for both a dining table and relaxed seating. The large glazed roof lantern and windows draw in plenty of natural light, while doors open directly onto the patio, making it particularly enjoyable through the warmer months when the house and garden can almost become one. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a comfortable double with plenty of room for freestanding furniture, while the second bedroom is another good-sized room overlooking the rear garden. The third bedroom is currently being used as a dressing room, demonstrating just how versatile it could be – equally suited to a child’s bedroom, nursery or home office depending on what life requires. A family bathroom completes the first floor, fitted with a white suite. The rear garden is another feature that deserves more than a passing mention. A generous paved patio sits immediately behind the house beneath a substantial timber pergola, creating a brilliant spot for outdoor furniture, summer barbecues or simply sitting out with a drink. Beyond is a neatly kept lawn bordered by established planting and mature hedging, with a pathway leading towards a useful garden shed at the far end. It feels established, green and easy to enjoy without demanding every weekend of your time. To the front there is an attractive lawned garden with planted borders and a pathway leading to the entrance, while gated side access provides a useful route through to the rear. All in all, this is a home that offers rather more than first impressions might suggest – a spacious living room, bright garden-facing conservatory, three genuinely useful bedrooms and a particularly appealing rear garden. And when a house holds this many good cards, Carder Avenue might just be worth dealing yourself in. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504313) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504314) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504315) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504316) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504317) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504318) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504319) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504320) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504321) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504322) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504323) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504324) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504326) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504328) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504329) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504332) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504334) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504337) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/93732297/2504340) ## Floorplans - ![All](/listings/photos/93732297/2504343) - All - ![Ground Floor](/listings/photos/93732297/2504347) - Ground Floor - ![First Floor](/listings/photos/93732297/2504351) - First Floor ## FENSA Certificates This property has 2 FENSA certificate(s) on record. ### FENSA Certificate #12951682 - **Address:** 13 Carder Avenue, STAFFORD, ST16 1QU - **Certificate Issued:** 21/05/2018 - **Work Completed:** 23/04/2018 - **Items:** 2 window(s) ### FENSA Certificate #11974209 - **Address:** 13 Carder Avenue, STAFFORD, ST16 1QU - **Certificate Issued:** 31/10/2016 - **Work Completed:** 26/09/2016 - **Items:** 2 window(s) ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
