Every hero needs a great base, especially when the call to action is close to home. Ideally located just a short walk from, the Royal Stoke Hospital, this three-bedroom semi-detached home on Douglas Avenue in the popular Oakhill area offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort and flexibility for everyday heroes, frontline workers and families alike, whether you’re powering up, scaling back or somewhere in between.

This is where the scrubs and cape come off. Step into a welcoming living room that feels like the heart of the HQ, with a beautiful bay window flooding the space with natural light. The log burner takes centre stage, creating a warm, restorative environment, ideal for decompressing after a long shift or simply switching off from the day.

Every great HQ needs an operations hub, and this one delivers. The open-plan kitchen, diner and living space functions as mission control, combining sleek navy cabinetry with oak-effect worktops, generous storage and ample preparation space. Fully equipped with an integrated fridge freezer, oven, dishwasher, four-burner gas hob and stainless-steel sink and drainer, it’s ready for everything from quick refuelling between shifts to hosting friends and family. The living area features a second log burner and opens through bi-folding doors, seamlessly extending the space outdoors.

Upstairs is where heroes properly recharge. Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for growing families, overnight guests or a home office, each adaptable to changing needs. Completing the floor, the spacious family bathroom offers the best of both worlds, featuring both a panelled bath and separate walk-in shower, making it perfect for busy family mornings, alongside a WC and vanity wash hand basin.

Outside, the adventure continues. The rear garden becomes a welcome recovery zone, designed for both action and downtime. A patio provides space for gatherings and fresh air moments, while the lawn offers room to relax, play or reset. A garage ensures secure storage for all the essential kit, and to the front, a tarmac driveway provides dependable off-road parking for smooth arrivals and quick getaways.
