Fernwood, Stafford, ST16

Fern-tastic homes don’t grow on trees… although having a little park just across the road certainly helps. With three bedrooms, a lovely garden and a layout built around family living, this one could be well worth planting roots in.

Fernwood enjoys a popular Stafford location and benefits from a lovely green space directly opposite — ideal for dog walks, children’s playtime or simply enjoying a bit of extra open space nearby. The property also offers convenient access to schools, local amenities and commuter links.

The property is approached via a two-car driveway alongside a front garden with established shrubs, while a detached single garage sits set back alongside the rear garden.

Stepping inside, the entrance hallway includes a useful under-stairs storage cupboard and leads through into the main living accommodation.

Positioned to the left is the living room, a bright and welcoming space centred around an electric fireplace. An open archway leads through into the dining room, creating a lovely sense of flow and making the space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Double French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room.

To the rear sits the kitchen, which benefits from additional under-stairs storage and provides a practical layout with a freestanding oven. A side door also offers convenient access outside.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged with a mix of spaces to enjoy. Beginning with a paved seating area, mature flower borders and a pebbled bed add colour and character. A shed is positioned further along the garden, while the lawned section continues beyond. A further pebbled area leads through to a small decked seating space and access into the shed, creating several areas to relax and enjoy.

Upstairs, the first floor offers three bedrooms including two doubles and a single room. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the single bedroom includes a useful over-stairs storage cupboard.

Anti-Money Laundering & ID Checks

Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler or Guild365, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £45.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.
