Description

Open 9am-9pm, 7 Days A Week!This stunning, extended and fully modernised three-bedroom semi-detached home has been beautifully reimagined from top to bottom — a true credit to its current owner. Every inch of this property has been thoughtfully upgraded to combine contemporary style with everyday comfort, resulting in a home that’s as practical as it is impressive.
Step inside and prepare to be wowed by the flow of light and space. The open-plan entrance hall leads through to a welcoming living room, a stylish dining area, a cosy sitting room, and even a dedicated study for those who work from home. There’s also a useful utility room, a sleek guest W.C, and the heart of the home — a show-stopping contemporary dining kitchen.
This kitchen has serious wow-factor: a large breakfast island, high-end integrated appliances, and statement bi-folding doors that open out onto a porcelain-tiled seating area — perfect for indoor-outdoor living and weekend entertaining.
Upstairs, you’ll find three well-presented bedrooms and a superb re-fitted family bath/shower room that exudes hotel-style luxury.
Outside, the gardens have been professionally landscaped for ease of maintenance — laid mainly to decorative gravel with smart porcelain patio areas ideal for relaxing or socialising. To the rear, double gates open onto a private driveway for one vehicle and a detached single garage.
Set within highly desirable Baswich, this home enjoys close proximity to well-regarded schools, shops, local amenities and, for those who love the outdoors, the stunning Cannock Chase — just a short drive or bike ride away.
Offered with No Upward Chain, this is a home that’s ready to move straight into and enjoy — modern, refined and full of personality.
