Description
The property is approached by a neat front garden and driveway, providing off road parking for two vehicles together with access to the carport. A UPVC entrance door opens into the entrance lobby with stairs leading up to the first floor. To the left lies the lounge, a bright and welcoming room benefitting from a large window to the front aspect. A door from here leads through to the kitchen diner.
The kitchen/diner is well fitted with a range of wall and base units, incorporating integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, oven, microwave and four ring gas hob. A cupboard houses the recently installed combi boiler and there is a useful understairs storage cupboard. A door opens directly onto the rear garden, creating a natural link between inside and out.
Upstairs, the property offers two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The main bedroom, located to the front, is a good sized double with two windows providing plenty of light, together with built in sliding wardrobes. The second bedroom is a single to the rear, again benefitting from fitted storage. The family bathroom is fitted with a panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC, finished with modern tiling.
Outside, the rear garden enjoys a favourable sunny aspect. A paved patio provides space for seating and dining, leading onto a lawned area enclosed by fencing and mature hedging, offering a pleasant and private outlook.
Westbury Park is a well regarded residential area, conveniently placed for Newcastle under Lyme town centre with its range of shops, schools and amenities. The property also offers excellent transport connections, with easy access to the A500 and M6, making it an ideal base for those needing to commute.
This is an excellent opportunity for first time buyers or those seeking a well presented home in a popular and convenient location.

- 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).
