Meadowside, Stone, ST15

Welcome to Meadowside, a five-bedroom detached family home with plenty of space for childhood memories to unfold. With a South-West facing rear garden, double garage and far-reaching views, there’s room for footballs, paddling pools, treasure hunts and muddy wellies. Inside, generous rooms provide space for homework, movie nights, board-game tournaments and family life, with the garden becoming a natural extension of the home. Think summer evenings playing hide-and-seek, rainy afternoons with Monopoly on the dining table and growing up surrounded by a little woodland magic. There’ll be rock, paper, scissors to settle the important arguments, and more than a few rounds of stuck in the mud when the weather allows.

Step inside and Meadowside begins to reveal its character. To the right is the dining room, where a gorgeous bay window fills the space with light and provides the perfect setting for family dinners, birthday teas and serious games of Cluedo. To the left is the versatile office/sitting room, again with a bay window and easily adaptable as a playroom, snug, home office or creative space as the family grows. One day it might be a quiet reading corner, the next the headquarters for an elaborate game of hide-and-seek.

Then comes the huge living room, centred around a gorgeous fireplace with French doors opening onto the rear garden. Perfect for family film nights, pillow forts and rainy-day games, while sunny days can be spent throwing open the doors and letting the garden become part of the room. Perfect for a quick round of musical statues or even the occasional “the floor is lava” emergency. The kitchen/breakfast room combines a gorgeous minimalist cream fronted with washed oak profiling and contrasting base cupboards with washed oak fronts, with quartz worktops, an integrated double oven, electric hob, cooker hood and dishwasher, with bifold doors opening onto the garden. The adjoining utility room provides plenty of space for appliances and all those muddy football kits, while a W.C. and useful storage complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the master bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with built in double wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors and a generous ensuite with separate bath and shower. Bedroom two is another double with built-in wardrobes and its own ensuite, while bedrooms three and four both offer generous double rooms with built-in storage. These are rooms ready for sleepovers, favourite toys, teenage posters and, eventually, those all-important “do not enter” signs! These are bedrooms for pillow fights, whispered secrets, and midnight snacks. Bedroom five is currently a fabulous dressing room with wall-to-wall wardrobes, but could easily become a fifth bedroom, nursery, hobby room or creative den. The family bathroom completes the floor, with bath, W.C. and wash hand basin.

And now for one of Meadowside’s greatest little treasures: the South-West facing rear garden. With patio, lawn and artificial grass, there’s plenty of room for football matches, garden cricket, treasure hunts, hide-and-seek and simply letting the children run free, while the electric awning provides welcome shade on sunnier days. There’s room for stuck in the mud, tag, British Bulldog, “What’s the time, Mr Wolf?” and those wonderfully chaotic games where nobody quite remembers the rules but everyone knows who’s winning. A large double garage with electric doors and side access completes the outside space, with plenty of room for cars, bikes, scooters and more. With the great addition of solar panels and Ev charging for cars, this home is a real winner.

Meadowside is more than a house; it’s a backdrop for childhood. A place for board games, garden adventures, birthday parties, muddy wellies, sleepovers and the little moments that become the big memories. A home with room to grow, space to play and just enough woodland whimsy to make growing up here feel rather magical. A place for hide-and-seek until dusk, rock, paper, scissors to decide who goes first, stuck in the mud on summer afternoons and the timeless childhood debate over who gets to be “It”.
