Description

BENNET SAMWAYS are delighted to offer for sale this spacious, modern four-bedroom barn-style end property, situated on a generous corner plot within a unique and sought-after development. The gross internal area is approximately 1,650 sq. ft. Located just outside Baswich, on the outskirts of Stafford, the property enjoys excellent access to the countryside. This lovely home offers superb open-plan living along with fantastic outdoor space, complete with outbuildings and a built-in BBQ area.

Interior - Upon entering the home, you’re welcomed by a hallway with a guest cloakroom and a compact utility room fitted with cabinets and plumbing for a washing machine. A further hall area includes a study—ideal for home workers.
The heart of the home is the open-plan living area with a recently re-fitted kitchen. This large, bright space features French doors that open onto the main garden. The kitchen is stylishly finished with sleek cabinets and worktops, and includes an electric hob, electric oven, microwave/air fryer, dishwasher, and space for a fridge/freezer.
Upstairs, the landing leads to the master bedroom, which features fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from fitted wardrobes, with two further bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom comprising a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Exterior - The property includes parking for one vehicle and a single garage located in a separate block. Gated access opens into a landscaped front garden with stylish sleeper-edged planting borders, along with access to a rear gate and the main entrance.
The spacious rear garden is perfect for outdoor entertaining, featuring a large tool shed, a bespoke outdoor BBQ kitchen with opening shutters and fitted bench, a greenhouse, and a dog enclosure. There is also a lawn area and a stunning, large paved patio—ideal for enjoying the summer sun.

Locality - Located on the eastern edge of Stafford, the area near Baswich is steeped in history and natural beauty. One of its most significant historical sites is the former St Thomas Priory, founded in the 12th century as an Augustinian house. Though the priory was dissolved during the Reformation, remnants of its presence still shape the landscape today, with subtle earthworks and archaeological traces near the River Sow. The surrounding area offers a peaceful, semi-rural setting just a short distance from the bustling market town of Stafford, which provides a rich blend of heritage architecture, independent shops, and excellent transport links—including a mainline railway station offering direct services to Birmingham, Manchester, and London. With nearby canals, green spaces, and connections to Staffordshire’s broader countryside, this is a location where history and modern living blend beautifully.
