Description
Forget squeezing everyone into one room and fighting over who gets the biggest bedroom... this four bedroom detached home on Porlock Avenue offers generous proportions, multiple reception spaces and a garden that gives the whole family room to spread out.
Approached over a block paved driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to the single garage, the property begins with an entrance porch which opens into the welcoming entrance hallway. The hallway features stairs rising to the first floor accommodation and doors leading through to the living room and kitchen.
The living room is a lovely bright and spacious reception room, with plenty of room for comfortable family seating and featuring a decorative fireplace which provides an attractive focal point. Please note that the gas fire itself is not currently working.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units with complementing work surfaces, together with a built-in oven and hob and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. From the kitchen, you can access both the dining room and utility room.
The dining room provides another excellent reception space and features double doors opening into the conservatory. This is a particularly good-sized room, with windows overlooking the rear garden and double doors opening directly outside. It's a versatile space that could be used for everything from family meals and entertaining friends to simply enjoying a quiet coffee while looking out over the garden.
The utility room continues the practical theme, with a further range of fitted units and space for a washing machine. An internal door provides access into the garage, while an external door opens directly onto the rear garden, making this a particularly useful space for everyday family life.
Moving upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three of which are comfortable double bedrooms, with two benefiting from fitted wardrobes. Completing the first floor accommodation is a modern fitted shower room and separate WC.
Outside, the property is approached via the block paved driveway, providing ample parking and leading to the main entrance and single garage. The rear garden is a good size and features a paved patio leading onto a lawn with mature borders. To the far end of the garden is a further gravelled area which could be used as an additional patio or seating area, providing plenty of flexibility for outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the garden.
The location is another key attraction. Porlock Avenue is situated within the established Baswich/Weeping Cross area of Stafford, a popular choice for families with a good range of amenities close at hand. With schools also within easy reach. Local shops and everyday facilities are conveniently located, with Stafford town centre and Stafford railway station a short drive from the property, makes the location particularly useful for commuters.
For those looking for a detached family home with four bedrooms, generous living accommodation, a conservatory, garage, ample parking and a good-sized rear garden, this property offers plenty of space and flexibility in a well-established and convenient Stafford location.

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
