Location - Wetley Rocks is a Staffordshire Moorlands Village located approximately 2 miles from the village of Cheddleton, 6 Miles from the Market Towns of Leek and Cheadle, and 7 miles from Stoke on Trent City Centre.
The village itself enjoys the benefit of a local petrol station which has a shop and post office, as well as a popular public house, a Church, Village Hall and Primary School.
The village lies on a small north-south ridge; immediately to the east is the edge of a plateau, and there are rock outcrops of millstone grit along the northern part of the ridgeline; the outcrops have restricted the growth of the village east of the A520. The name of the village comes from these rock outcrops, and from the nature of the pasture land (ley or lea being pasture). A local quarry, part of the same outcrop, provided the stone for many of the original buildings.
Wetley Abbey, about half a mile south of the village, is a large building built in the early 19th century in Gothic style although it has no religious connections; it is now a care home but was at one time the home of the 19th-century painter George Hemming Mason.

- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
