Description
An inviting entrance hallway leads into a bright and spacious lounge and dining area, which is tastefully decorated and centred around a log-burning stove that provides a warm and welcoming focal point. The adjoining modern kitchen has been carefully designed with a range of contemporary units, integrated appliances and ample work surfaces, combining practicality with a clean, stylish finish. Extending from the dining area, the conservatory offers a comfortable place to relax while enjoying views over the rear garden throughout the year.
The ground floor accommodation includes two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, underfloor heating and elegant tiling. On the first floor there are two further double bedrooms, both light and spacious, together with a modern shower room.
Outside, the property benefits from a substantial, private and enclosed rear garden with patio, pergola and decking areas, providing excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining or quiet enjoyment. There is also ample room for planting and further landscaping. To the front, a large driveway offers plentiful off-road parking and leads to the garage, adding to the home’s overall convenience.
The property combines generous accommodation with a highly desirable location, close to local schools, shops and transport links, including the A500 and Junction 15 of the M6. Sherborne Drive therefore presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial and well-maintained home in one of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s most popular residential areas, offering an attractive balance of space, comfort and character.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- 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).
