Set within a superb waterside position, this exceptional four-bedroom home offers a rare combination of space, style and setting. Extending to approximately 2,048 sq ft, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded to create a home that feels both impressive and highly practical, with beautifully finished interiors, generous room sizes and a layout designed for modern family living. The open-plan kitchen/living area forms the heart of the home, complete with high-quality integrated appliances, a central island, Amtico flooring and excellent natural light, while the separate living room provides a more relaxed retreat with a DEFRA-approved log burner.
The first floor continues the sense of quality, with four well-proportioned bedrooms, built-in wardrobes, a superb principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and glass balcony, plus two en suites and a stylish family bathroom. Outside, the landscaped rear garden is a real highlight, offering mature planting, seating areas, useful storage, a greenhouse and a peaceful outlook towards the canal. With a double garage, electric garage door, CCTV, oak staircase, oak doors, partial underfloor heating and end-of-garden mooring rights subject to permission, this is a distinctive waterside home that offers far more than the average family property.
Local Area & Buyer Insight
Meadow Ridge is a highly attractive Stafford setting for buyers who want something more distinctive than a standard estate position. The canal-side location gives the home a peaceful, almost semi-rural feel, with waterside views, greenery and walking routes close by, yet it remains well placed for Stafford’s town centre, schools, shops and commuter links. The Stafford Riverway Link also highlights the historic canal connection between Stafford town centre and the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal at Baswich, adding genuine local character to this waterside setting.
Stafford itself is the county town of Staffordshire and offers a strong mix of everyday amenities, independent shops, restaurants, cafés and bars. Stafford Borough Council describes the town centre as having major high street retailers alongside niche independent stores, plus a good choice of restaurants, bistros, coffee shops and bars, making it a practical base for families, professionals and downsizers alike.
For commuters, Stafford railway station is one of the area’s major advantages. There are direct rail services towards London Euston, Birmingham New Street and Manchester Piccadilly, with West Midlands Railway showing Stafford to London Euston services taking from around 1 hour 16 minutes at the fastest, and Stafford to Manchester Piccadilly from around 54 minutes at the fastest. This makes the area particularly appealing for buyers who want a Staffordshire home with strong regional and national rail connections.
Please see our Interactive Guide for buyers for information on the excellent local schools.
For lifestyle, the area gives buyers access to some of Staffordshire’s best outdoor spaces. Stafford Borough is promoted by Visit Staffordshire as offering historic Stafford, Stone, Eccleshall, Shugborough Estate, Trentham Estate and a wider range of heritage attractions. For this particular home, though, the standout is much closer: the rear garden meets the canal setting, creating a rare day-to-day outlook that many buyers simply won’t find in a typical suburban family home.
