About this property
Stoke Townhouse is a well-presented house in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Offering a welcoming base for families and groups of friends, with accommodation set over three floors and easy access to the Peak District National Park. Arrive and park along the roadside before stepping back to take in the townhouse exterior, then head inside to begin your stay. You are welcomed into the sitting room, where wooden flooring runs underfoot, and a high ceiling enhances the sense of space, while a large sofa invites you to settle in beside the bay window, a lovely spot to relax with a drink or gather for an evening in front of the Smart TV.
Continue through to the dining room, where a feature brick fireplace adds character and the table is thoughtfully laid for six, ready for shared meals, conversation and planning the days ahead. The kitchen offers a practical space for preparing your favourite dishes, with tiled flooring and wooden fixtures creating a warm backdrop as you make use of the appliances to cook, brew and keep everything organised with ease. When sleep calls, make your way upstairs to find the bedrooms positioned across the upper floors, each one carpeted and bright to provide a welcoming place to rest. The double bedroom offers a calm setting to unwind, while the twin zip-link can be arranged to suit your group, and on the top floor, the single bedroom benefits from a Velux window that draws in natural light as you wake.
Start your day with a refreshing soak in the bath or a quick rinse beneath the walk-in shower, with the additional cloakroom proving useful as everyone gets ready to head out. Step into the enclosed garden where patio furniture sets the scene for a morning coffee or an evening drink, with a shop and pub just a short walk away and a gentle riverside stroll close by. Stoke-on-Trent offers plenty to explore, where you can wander through Trentham Gardens with its lakeside paths, shop within the village centre and discover the enchanting fairy trail, while the World of Wedgwood invites you to learn about local craftsmanship, browse the factory shop and enjoy refreshments in the tea room, and Gladstone Pottery Museum showcases preserved kilns, hands-on exhibits and stories of the area’s industrial heritage.
Venture into the Peak District National Park to follow scenic walking routes, take in far-reaching valley views and pause in traditional villages, offering a varied day out surrounded by countryside. For a change of pace, visit Alton Towers, where you can experience a mix of thrilling rides, explore the expansive grounds and unwind within its landscaped gardens.
