Tixall Road, Stafford, Staffordshire, ST16

From the outside, this classic 1930s bay-fronted home on Tixall Road looks pretty unassuming… but the moment you step inside, you realise there's a whole lot more going on. This place has been carefully loved, thoughtfully improved and brought up to an exceptional standard by its current custodians — and you really can feel that story unfold as you walk through.

The front lounge is the first room to greet you, and it's instantly inviting. The log burner sets the tone, the décor is calm and considered, and the room has this gentle, peaceful energy that makes you want to curl up and stay a while. It's the perfect space to switch off, shut the door and enjoy some proper downtime.

But if that door's open, you'll almost glide straight past and into the real social heart of the home — the open kitchen/diner. The owners have completely transformed this space, and it shows. It's bright, stylish and genuinely made for hosting, with plenty of room for a big dining table and a natural flow that keeps everyone connected. Sliding doors lead straight out to the patio, and there's also handy side access via the carport. It's the kind of room that works just as well for lazy Sunday brunches as it does for lively evenings with friends.

Upstairs carries that same thoughtful attention to detail. The bathroom is up first and feels surprisingly generous. It has a calm, spa-like feel that makes both the rushed morning routines and the slow, indulgent evening soaks feel equally at home.

Bedroom 2 is a lovely, comfortable double room. The neutral palette, soft textures and panelling give it a serene feel, and it's exactly the kind of space guests settle into instantly — maybe a little too happily!

The master bedroom mirrors the footprint of bedroom 2 but gains the charm of the 1930s bay window. It adds space, light and character, and the current owners have styled it in a way that really shows how elegant this room can be.

The third bedroom — the famous “box room” — has been used brilliantly. It's currently set up as a work-from-home space, but it still functions perfectly well as a single bedroom when needed, proving that every inch of this house has been made to work practically.

Now, the garden… this is where this home really surprises you. The patio sits directly off the dining room and is a fantastic spot to enjoy a coffee or unwind after work. Down the steps, you enter a very mature, established garden with greenery, colour and a real sense of privacy. Follow the garden down further and you come to the hidden ‘secret' section — a quiet lawned area with decking and a fantastic garden room. Whether you picture a bar, games den, relaxing hideout, creative studio, or gaming HQ for the kids, this space is ready to become whatever you need it to be.

From the moment the current owners picked up the keys, this place has been on a bit of a glow-up. They've poured love, time and energy into turning it into a home that feels warm, welcoming and genuinely well-looked-after — not just inside, but in the little pockets of outdoor space that make everyday living that bit sweeter.

Now, as they get ready to open the door to their own next adventure, it's someone else's turn to step in and start writing the next chapter of this home's story. If you're looking for a place that's been cared for, improved, enjoyed and is ready for its next leading character… this one's waiting for you.
