Discerning purchaser, it is with the utmost delight (and a touch of scandalous excitement) that we present a residence truly worthy of your attention. Set perfectly within the heart of Stafford, this beautiful period home boasts a world of character and original features, perfectly blended with modern convenience. Late Victorian properties so close to the town centre and of this size and quality rarely come on the market and fewer still that are packed so full of charm and character. Step inside to a grand entrance hall, laid with traditional Minton tiling and high ceilings and into the gracious living room. There's ample space to relax and round the original open fire with a feature marble surround. Double glazed French doors lead to the patio and garden. Across the hall lies a gorgeous sitting room with another stunning original fireplace that's bathed in light from the large bay windows. It's the perfect separate living space for multi-generational living. An additional family room awaits that could make a perfect playroom, with the potential to be a fifth bedroom with a separate and refurbished wet room accessed from the hall. Continuing through downstairs you’ll find an atrium link that is flooded with natural light and leads into the exceptionally spacious kitchen. With four skylights, high ceilings and a cast iron radiator to keep everything cosy for cooks, it's a real stunner which is the natural heart of this home. Shaker-style units with solid oak doors are complemented by granite worktops and a double Belfast sink. Integrated appliances include a full height fridge and dishwasher. There's a large central island and a dining space with views to the beautiful landscaped gardens. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room which provides access to a secret courtyard, plus a study that’s ideal for working from home.

Upstairs, four generously sized double bedrooms await, all providing plenty of room for growing families; one bedroom boasts its own walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom features an original, cast-iron, roll top bath plus a sleek walk-in rainfall shower. The loft is boarded and comes with lighting, making it the perfect opportunity for an extension (stnpp).

Outside, the secret courtyard is block-paved throughout, has a log store and has access to the large workshop, making it the perfect spot for either relaxing or working. The rear garden is beautifully landscaped and has a generous, block-paved seating space that wraps round to the side of the home, leading to the living room, an outdoor kitchen space and a period-style verandah. Lush grass lawns fill the rest of the garden, along with mature shrubberies and a summer house complete a log burner. To the front, tall hedging protects the homes' privacy, while the driveway provides ample off-road parking.
