If your property search has been full of “almosts” and “not quite enoughs”, Shelmore Close might just sweep in with a confident “how about this for more?”… and suddenly, the search feels a lot more exciting.
Tucked away within a well-regarded residential area on the outskirts of Stafford, this beautifully presented three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a wonderful balance of comfort and charm. Perfect for those looking to downsize without compromise or enjoy the ease of single-storey living, the location provides convenient access to the town centre, a range of local amenities, and excellent commuter links including the mainline railway station and nearby road networks.
Step inside and you are welcomed by a central entrance hallway, with doors leading through to both the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a modern range of units, complemented by work surfaces and offering space for appliances, while a side access door adds everyday convenience.
The living room is a bright and inviting space, centred around a charming log-burning stove set into the chimney breast, creating the perfect spot to relax and unwind. A door provides access to a staircase which leads up to a converted loft storage room, providing valuable additional space. From the living room, a door leads through to an inner hallway, giving access to the three bedrooms and the modern fitted shower room.
The shower room has been thoughtfully updated with a contemporary suite comprising a WC, vanity style wash hand basin and a double shower cubicle. All three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with bedroom one enjoying the added benefit of direct access into a conservatory. This lovely space offers a seamless transition between indoors and out, with a door opening directly onto the rear garden.
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, a neatly maintained lawn sits alongside a pathway leading to the main entrance, while a driveway runs through a side carport to a single garage, providing ample off-road parking. The rear garden is a real highlight, beautifully maintained and thoughtfully arranged with a patio seating area, a well-kept lawn, and established planting beds filled with a variety of plants and shrubs, creating a peaceful and private outdoor retreat.
All in all, this is a home that not only meets expectations but quietly exceeds them, offering more space, more comfort, and more lifestyle appeal in a location that continues to be in strong demand.
