**Blooming lovely bungalow living! Offering two double bedrooms, generous living space and a wonderfully low-maintenance garden, this detached home on Magnolia Close has all the ingredients for easy single-storey living.**

Magnolia Close enjoys a pleasant residential setting within Stafford, with this two-bedroom detached bungalow offering a practical and well-proportioned layout alongside excellent parking and easy-to-manage outdoor space.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, accompanied by a lawned front garden.

Stepping inside, the entrance hallway initially provides a useful storage area before turning into the main hallway, which connects the accommodation throughout the bungalow. An additional storage cupboard provides even more useful space for keeping everyday essentials tucked away.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both comfortable doubles and conveniently positioned off the main hallway.

The living room is another generous space, providing plenty of room for a variety of furniture arrangements and creating a comfortable setting in which to relax.

Also accessed from the hallway is the shower room, which has an interesting split arrangement. The first section incorporates the WC and wash basin before continuing into a separate area housing the shower itself.

The kitchen and dining room provides another excellent amount of living space, beginning with a dedicated dining area before flowing openly into the kitchen beyond.

The kitchen is equipped with an integrated oven and microwave alongside a four-ring electric hob, while a sizeable pantry cupboard provides fantastic additional food and kitchen storage. A door opens directly onto the rear garden.

Off the kitchen is a separate utility room with space beneath the worktop for an appliance, keeping laundry conveniently away from the main living areas.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed with low-maintenance living firmly in mind. The space is entirely paved, providing plenty of opportunity for outdoor seating, pots and planters without the upkeep of a traditional lawn.

Large established flower beds stretch across the rear, bringing plenty of greenery and colour to the garden, while a storage shed and greenhouse provide useful additions for keen gardeners. An elevated pond completes the space and creates an attractive focal point.

Offering two genuine double bedrooms, generous reception space and a wonderfully manageable garden, this detached bungalow provides an excellent opportunity for buyers looking to enjoy comfortable single-storey living.
