Some properties offer a new beginning. This one could offer two! With its charming character, generous plot and the rather exciting bonus of outline planning permission for an additional three-bedroom detached house, Silkmore Lane is a property with possibilities that go well beyond the front door.

Whether you're looking for a home with character, somewhere to put your own stamp on, or an opportunity to explore a development project, this is one you'll certainly want to take a closer look at.

The existing home is a characterful two-bedroom property, with its attractive brickwork and Tudor-style detailing giving it a distinctive appearance. Step inside through the enclosed entrance porch and you'll find a surprisingly versatile layout, with plenty of room to make the house your own.

The welcoming hallway leads through to a comfortable living room, where a fireplace provides a natural focal point and a large window draws in plenty of daylight. It's easy to imagine this becoming a cosy retreat, especially on those colder evenings when all you want to do is put your feet up.

Across the hallway, the separate dining room offers a lovely space for entertaining. Whether it's Sunday lunch with the family or a quiet morning coffee, it's a room with plenty of potential to become a favourite spot in the house.

The kitchen brings a more contemporary touch, with its white Shaker-style units, contrasting worktops and built-in cooking appliances. Surrounded by windows and with glazed doors opening outside, there's an abundance of natural light and a pleasant outlook towards the established greenery. A separate study provides that increasingly useful space for working from home, while a ground floor WC adds further convenience.

Head upstairs and you'll discover two well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with fitted wardrobes, together with a separate dressing room offering useful additional space. The family bathroom completes the first floor accommodation. Whilst some areas would benefit from updating, there's a great opportunity here to create something that combines the home's existing character with a fresh, more modern finish.

Outside is where things become particularly interesting. Mature trees, established shrubs and plenty of greenery give the grounds a wonderfully secluded feel, while the generous gravelled frontage provides off-road parking. The gardens themselves offer considerable scope for landscaping and improvement, whether you're dreaming of creating your own outdoor retreat or exploring the property's wider potential.

And here's the real headline...

The property benefits from approved outline planning permission for the construction of an additional, two-storey, three-bedroom detached house within the grounds. The illustrative plans show an attractive modern home with three bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, a family bathroom, separate lounge and an open-plan kitchen, dining and family area.

Planning permission was granted by Stafford Borough Council on 27th May 2026 under application reference 25/41348/OUT, with all matters reserved and further approvals and conditions applicable. The proposed site layout also illustrates a shared access arrangement and parking provision.

For developers, investors or even families considering the possibility of creating a second home for a loved one, this opens up an entirely different level of opportunity, subject to the necessary further approvals.

With its distinctive appearance, flexible accommodation, established grounds and exciting development potential, Silkmore Lane offers far more than first meets the eye.

One existing home, plans for another and a whole host of possibilities. The next chapter is yours to write!

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, 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.
