Old Croft Road, Stafford, ST17

You could pass it a hundred times and never know it was there. Set well back from Old Croft Road and quietly tucked behind mature greenery, this three-bedroom home keeps its secrets well and rewards those who come looking. Hidden from view, it’s not the kind of house that shouts for attention. It simply waits, with quiet charm and countryside soul.

This much-loved family home has been carefully maintained and freshly decorated, ready for new stories to begin. With two entrances and a thoughtfully extended ground floor, there’s room to grow, room to gather and room to find your own space. The breakfast kitchen is light and practical, with plenty of storage and a calming view of the garden, a hint of what’s to come. From here, the house opens through to the dining area with French doors, and onward again into a bright, dual-aspect lounge that feels welcoming all year round. An inner hallway leads to a surprise, a second reception room at the front, more spacious than most, with a bay window that invites in the afternoon sun. It’s the kind of space that adapts to whatever you need: reading room, music room, games room, snug. There’s also a converted wet room on the ground floor, making life easier for visiting guests or anyone needing step-free flexibility. Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms, the largest with fitted wardrobe space, and a well-sized family bathroom with a corner bath and shower above. Outside, you’ll find a single parking space at the front…but look closer. The through garage offers real scope for those who need more. Whether you’re thinking extra parking at the rear, a workshop, a home gym, or simply somewhere to store all the bits life brings, the potential here is genuinely exciting. And then there’s the garden. At first, it appears charming enough, lawn, patio, room for the barbecue. But keep walking. This is no ordinary garden. South-east facing, wide and stretching far beyond expectation, it backs directly onto greenbelt land and opens via a gate to a beautiful bridle path. From your own back gate, you can wander straight through fields and woodland all the way to Brocton Golf Club, or even on to Cannock Chase. For walkers, dog lovers and anyone who feels at home in the countryside, this is the kind of rare access that simply can’t be faked. Despite the sense of seclusion, the location couldn’t be more convenient. Wildwood, Baswich and Walton are all close by, with excellent transport links and sought-after schooling, including Berkswich Primary School just a short walk away, and Oakridge Primary also within catchment.

This is a house with quiet presence. Not flashy, not ordinary, just quietly waiting to be found by someone who’ll appreciate its setting, its soul, and the space it offers to breathe. Offered with no onward chain, the next chapter is ready to be written. Will it be yours?
