Boasting a striking brick facade and an expansive plot, the property immediately impresses with its curb appeal, featuring a double garage and additional off-road parking for two vehicles. Heart of the Home: Open-Plan Living The ground floor is designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. The standout feature is the expansive open-plan kitchen, finished with high-gloss cabinetry, premium integrated appliances, and a central island that serves as a natural gathering point. A separate utility area keeps the main kitchen clutter-free, while a convenient downstairs WC adds to the home's practical layout. Flowing effortlessly from the living space is a beautiful, light-filled conservatory. With its vaulted glass roof and panoramic views of the garden, it provides a serene secondary living or dining area that brings the outdoors in, regardless of the season. Just a 10-minute walk away, Doxey Marshes offers a beautiful natural escape right on your doorstep. Known for its peaceful walking routes, rich wildlife and open wetland scenery, the marshes are a popular spot for dog walkers, runners and nature lovers alike. With picturesque surroundings throughout the seasons, it provides the perfect balance of countryside living while still being close to local amenities and commuter links. The development itself is an exclusive and well-established community, built approximately eight years ago by a premium developer with a strong reputation for quality homes and thoughtful design. The small neighbourhood has developed a genuine sense of community, with residents enjoying a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, alongside an active residents’ Facebook group that helps maintain the close-knit feel of the area. Ideally positioned just one minute from Junction 14, the property benefits from exceptional transport links for commuters travelling to Stafford, Birmingham, Manchester and beyond. Despite its incredibly convenient location, the development remains remarkably quiet and peaceful, offering the best of both worlds — excellent accessibility without compromising on tranquillity. Luxury Accommodation The first floor hosts five well-appointed bedrooms, designed with privacy and luxury in mind. Two of the principal bedrooms serve as true sanctuaries, each featuring dedicated dressing areas and private en-suite bathrooms, offering a boutique-hotel feel within your own home. Exceptional Outdoor Space To the rear lies a large, private garden that has been meticulously landscaped. A generous porcelain-tiled patio area provides the ultimate setting for alfresco dining and summer hosting, leading onto a lush lawn bordered by contemporary sleeper-retained planters. The garden is un-overlooked, offering a rare degree of seclusion for a modern home. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311315) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311317) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311318) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311320) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311322) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311325) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311328) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311330) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311333) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311336) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311340) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311343) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311347) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311350) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311353) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311357) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311360) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311363) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311366) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311370) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311374) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311381) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311386) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/88227375/2311391) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/88227375/2311396) - Floorplan 1 - ![Floorplan 2](/listings/photos/88227375/2311402) - Floorplan 2 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/88227375/2311406) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
