Property description & features

  • For sale by auction 29/1/25
  • Traditional detached bungalow
  • Enormous potential for refurbishment & improvement
  • Truly delightful, extensive plot
  • Highly sought after residential location
  • Floor test reveals high level of sulphate content beneath concrete floor slab
  • Result: Grade 3 listing in detail with Communities & Local Government publication
  • EPC rating D. Council tax band D
  • Virtual 360 tour available
A report has revealed a high level of sulphate content in the hardcore beneath the concrete slab. A copy of the report is available upon request and we have also obtained a quotation for the work to be remedied however it is for guidance purposes only and all interested parties should make their own enquiries.

Accommodation - A porch opens into the reception hall which leads to a very pleasant lounge that has a traditional fireplace and patio style doors to the sun room.

A separate dining area opens to the kitchen that has an attractive range of high and low level units, contrasting worksurfaces, a sink and drainer plus a tiled floor.

There are two double bedrooms and a recently fitted wet room that has a shower, WC, wash basin and tiling.

A side lobby has an outer door to the rear garden plus gives access to a laundry room, WC and a home office/third bedroom which has its own en suite WC and wash basin.

The bungalow stands well back from the road beyond a very spacious drive capable of parking numerous vehicles with a central island and lawned garden. Gated access leads to the extensive, mainly lawned rear garden with established mature borders and hedges. A further secluded area again has mature borders and a garden shed.

The property is set in a convenient location that is handy for the county town centre of Stafford with its excellent railway station which has regular services operating to London Euston, some of which take approximately one hour and twenty minutes. Junctions 13 and 14 of the M6 provide direct access into the national motorway network and M6 Toll.

THE PROPERTY IS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE LAND REGISTRY AND WILL REQUIRE A FIRST REGISTRATION ON SALE, FOR WHICH MOST SOLICITORS WILL MAKE AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE.

Notes: There may be CCTV recording during visits.

As previously mentioned a floor test has revealed the result corresponds to a grading Class 3 as detailed in the Communities and Local Government 07BD05094. Hardcore with a sulphate level of 2800 mg. SO4/Litre is high and falls within the Class 3 grading 1600 mg. SO4/Litre to 3000 ml. SO4/Litre is the limit of Class 3. We believe it unlikely that Lenders would provide a mortgage in view of the properties current condition relating to the floors.
