Forest Road, Burton-on-Trent

Ideally located within easy reach of Burton town centre, well-regarded schools, local amenities, parks and leisure facilities, the property also benefits from excellent transport links including the A38, A50 and Burton railway station – perfect for commuters.

Set behind traditional gates, the home is approached via a substantial L-shaped driveway providing ample off-road parking. A gentle rise leads to the front entrance, where an inviting hallway immediately showcases the property’s heritage, complete with beautifully preserved original Minton tiled flooring, high ceilings and an elegant staircase.

The ground floor boasts three versatile reception rooms. Two substantial bay-fronted rooms sit to the front, flooded with natural light through sash windows and offering wonderful ceiling height, with one enhanced by a feature fireplace. These adaptable spaces are ideal as formal living rooms, dining rooms, home offices or even a ground floor bedroom for multi-generational living. To the rear, a cosy third reception room with log burner provides a warm and intimate retreat, with the added benefit of a useful adjoining store.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the stunning kitchen diner spanning the full width of the property. The shaker-style kitchen, finished in heritage tones, features ample wall and base units, generous work surfaces and a traditional range cooker set within a tiled recess. Striking chequered Victorian-style flooring complements the character of the home.
Flowing effortlessly from the kitchen is a magnificent glazed sunroom with pitched glass roof, flooding the space with natural light and offering uninterrupted views across the garden. With ample room for family dining and relaxed seating, and underfloor heating within the extended section, this is a superb year-round entertaining space. A separate utility room and downstairs WC complete the ground floor.

To the first floor are four well-proportioned bedrooms. Two generous doubles sit to the front, one benefitting from an original fireplace and en-suite shower room, while the other offers fitted wardrobes and dual aspect windows. A further spacious double bedroom to the rear also enjoys its own en-suite. The fourth bedroom, currently used flexibly, retains period charm and fitted storage. A stylish family bathroom featuring a bath and separate shower serves the remaining accommodation.

Externally, the property continues to impress with an extensive rear garden. An initial patio area provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining, stepping up to a substantial lawn with additional seating areas, greenhouse and large shed. There is also practical space ideal for log storage or a vegetable patch.

This distinguished Victorian residence offers space, versatility and timeless character in one of Burton-on-Trent’s most desirable residential settings – a truly special family home.
