Captains Lane, Barton Under Needwood, Burton-on-trent, Staffordshire, DE13

A home with beautiful gardens, open views and exciting potential, set within one of Barton-under-Needwood's most sought-after village settings.

From the moment you arrive, this lovely home gives an immediate sense of privacy. A wonderfully expansive lawned front garden stretches out towards the road, framed by mature shrubs, established planting and seasonal flowers, while a hedge border adds a welcome degree of seclusion. To the side, a private driveway leads beneath a useful carport, providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles.

Step inside the side entrance into the hallway with an under-stairs cupboard provides handy everyday storage, while the layout flows naturally through the ground floor.

The kitchen sits to the rear and has been thoughtfully designed in a practical U-shaped arrangement, making excellent use of the available space. There is plenty of storage from a good range of wall and base units, together with space for a fridge, freezer, washing machine and cooker. A large rear-facing window places the sink overlooking the garden.

The adjoining dining room provides the potential to take out the wall (subject to building regulations) to create a large open plan kitchen/dining room for family meals, entertaining friends or celebrating those special occasions. Sliding doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a natural connection between the house and outside space. The staircase rises from here to the first floor.

At the front of the property, the spacious living room is wonderfully light, courtesy of a large picture window overlooking the expansive front garden. With attractive views, a peaceful and private atmosphere and a feature fireplace creating a natural focal point, this is a room designed for relaxing. Whether settling down with a good book, enjoying a quiet evening or watching the changing seasons through the window, it is an inviting space to unwind.

Upstairs, a generous U-shaped landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely position to the rear, overlooking the garden and the park beyond. This comfortable double bedroom also benefits from built-in storage. Bedroom two is another generous double, positioned to the front of the home and also featuring built-in storage, while bedroom three offers excellent versatility. Currently suited to a single bedroom, it could equally become a nursery, home office, dressing room or hobby space. The front bedrooms enjoy particularly attractive views across the surrounding open fields — a wonderful reminder of the countryside setting.

The family bathroom is fitted with a shower over bath, WC and wash basin, complemented by a heated towel radiator and tiled walls. An airing cupboard just outside provides useful linen storage and houses the central heating boiler.

The Garden

Outside, the rear garden is a real delight. A paved patio immediately adjoining the house provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer lunches or evening drinks, before giving way to a generous lawn. Established borders, mature shrubs and colourful planting create a wonderfully established backdrop, bursting into life throughout the spring and summer.

And there is more to this home than meets the eye.

The generous plot and enviable position offer excellent potential for future extension, subject, of course, to the necessary planning permissions. For buyers looking for a home they can grow into and make their own, this represents an exciting opportunity to add further space, personalise the accommodation and potentially add value over time.
