If your property search has been storming the castle gates looking for space, potential and a location to match, Castle Bank may just be where your happily ever after begins…
Positioned within one of Stafford’s most established and desirable residential areas, this traditional detached home presents an exciting opportunity for buyers ready to create a long term family home tailored to their own tastes and style. Requiring some cosmetic improvement throughout, the property already offers generous proportions, a superb plot and beautifully maintained gardens, making it the perfect canvas for the next chapter.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall provides access to all ground floor accommodation, with stairs rising to the first floor. There is also a useful guest WC tucked away off the hallway. The spacious dual aspect living room is flooded with natural light thanks to a window to the front and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden creating a wonderful connection between inside and out. A decorative fireplace provides an attractive focal point and enhances the room’s cosy feel.
The separate dining room offers fantastic versatility depending on a buyer’s lifestyle requirements and could easily serve as a formal dining space, second sitting room, home office or playroom. Once again, a decorative fireplace adds character, whilst the rear facing window enjoys lovely views over the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces incorporating a built in oven and hob, with further space available for additional appliances. A side access door leads conveniently outside to the rear garden.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with three well proportioned bedrooms, including two generous double bedrooms. Completing the accommodation is a stylish modern bath/shower room fitted with a contemporary suite comprising WC, vanity wash hand basin, bath and open ended shower cubicle.
Externally, this home occupies an enviable plot set back from the road behind a substantial driveway providing ample off road parking and access to the attached single garage. The front garden is well maintained with lawned areas and established planting beds adding kerb appeal from the moment you arrive.
To the rear lies a truly standout feature of the property. The large beautifully maintained garden backs directly onto a green area, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and openness rarely found. A paved patio seating area provides the perfect place for outdoor entertaining before leading onto a substantial lawn framed by mature and well stocked borders.
Castle Bank remains a highly regarded residential location within Stafford, popular with families thanks to its established surroundings, spacious detached homes and convenient access to Stafford town centre, excellent commuter links and nearby schooling. Stafford railway station also offers direct links to London, Birmingham and Manchester, making the area particularly appealing for commuters.
