Description
Swinburne and you’ll miss it… the space on offer here is anything but typical. With an unusually generous frontage, a great-sized garden and a layout that flows with ease, this three-bedroom semi delivers more than first impressions suggest. Add in solar panels and practical living throughout, and you’ve got a home that’s as sensible as it is spacious.
Swinburne sits in a popular Stafford location with convenient access to local amenities, schools and commuter links, making it a great choice for families and first-time buyers alike.
The property is approached via a particularly large frontage for the area, featuring two lawned sections alongside a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a detached single garage.
Step inside and the entrance hallway provides access to the first floor, along with a useful storage cupboard and a handy under-stairs storage cubby.
To the left, a set of bifold doors opens into the lounge, creating a flexible and sociable living space. The lounge is a good size and flows through into the dining room, which in turn connects to the kitchen.
The kitchen has been recently redecorated and offers a practical layout, including a single oven, four-burner hob and space for a dishwasher and freestanding fridge freezer. A door from the kitchen provides access to the side of the property.
Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and offers a great amount of space, extending around to the rear of the garage. A large brick-built storage shed sits within the garden and benefits from power, adding excellent versatility.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a built-in cupboard, along with a single bedroom featuring over-stairs storage. The accommodation is completed by the family bathroom fitted with a shower over bath.
The property also benefits from solar panels, adding to its overall efficiency.
A well-proportioned home offering generous outdoor space, practical living and plenty of potential to make your own.
