Description
Step through the front door and into a bright entrance hall, where glass-panelled doors gently invite natural light to dance from room to room, a fitting first hint that this home is all about openness, renewal and easy living. The kitchen is a soft, creamy dream, think warm mornings and fresh coffee energy. With its beautifully paired worktops, under-cabinet lighting, tiled flooring and integrated appliances, it’s as practical as it is pretty. A cheerful breakfast area sits beside sliding doors that lead straight out into the garden, ideal for letting the outside in as the seasons change. From here, you’ll also find access to both the utility room and the snug, making this the true heart of the home. Speaking of the utility room, it’s not just functional, it’s fabulously flexible. With its own external access from the driveway and garden, it moonlights as a mud room. Matching cabinetry and worktops keep everything cohesive and calm. The open-plan dining room and snug offer a delightful dual personality, a place to gather, unwind and grow. Whether it’s lively dinners or cosy evenings, this space adapts with ease. The snug’s sliding doors create a seamless flow to the garden, while the dining area hosts the staircase to the first floor, a gentle rise into the home’s next chapter. And then there’s the living room, a plush retreat where comfort blooms. Soft grey carpeting underfoot, a graceful bow window dressed with white shutters, and a built-in media wall with feature fireplace make this the perfect spot to hibernate in winter or relax in the lighter evenings of spring.
Upstairs, the sense of calm continues. Bedroom one is a generous double, complete with twin sets of built-in wardrobes and a coordinating vanity unit, a serene sanctuary to start each new day. Bedroom two is equally spacious, with crisp white shutters adding a fresh, airy feel. Bedroom three offers versatility in full bloom, whether you need a nursery, home office or dreamy dressing room. The bathroom is sleek and stylish, featuring marble-effect wall panelling, a walk-in shower with stainless steel accents, and a vanity unit that keeps everything neatly tucked away, a refreshing space to rinse and reset.
Outside, the garden is a true celebration of the seasons. Thoughtfully landscaped with gravel, decking, lawn, and planted beds, it offers something for every mood, from sun-soaked lounging to green-fingered pottering. At the top, a tiered gravel area leads to a charming summer house, your own little escape for hobbies, work or simply soaking up the longer days. To the front, a carport and driveway ensure parking is as easy as a spring breeze.
And location? Gnosall offers that perfect blend of village charm and everyday convenience, with excellent amenities, schools and transport links close at hand. Stafford town centre is just a short drive away for anything extra you might need.
Fresh, inviting, and ready for its next chapter, 88 Wharf Road is more than a house. It’s a place to grow, gather and begin again. Give us a call today to book your viewing - .

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- 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).
