Description
* NO ONWARD CHAIN * An impressive modern detached family home occupying a generous plot, situated on Laxton Grove in Stoke-on-Trent. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, this attractive property is ideally suited to growing families seeking a comfortable home with ample living space, a practical layout and gardens to both the front and rear.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by an entrance hall which provides access to the principal ground-floor rooms and stairs leading to the first floor. The ground floor benefits from a convenient downstairs W.C., ideal for family living and visiting guests, together with a separate study which provides an excellent space for home working, studying or use as a quiet retreat.
The lounge offers a welcoming environment in which to relax and unwind, with patio doors opening onto the rear garden. This creates a pleasant connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces, making it ideal for enjoying the garden during the warmer months or entertaining family and friends.
A particular highlight of the property is the open-plan fitted kitchen and dining room, providing a sociable and versatile space at the heart of the home. The fitted kitchen offers practical storage and workspace, while the adjoining dining area provides ample room for family meals and entertaining. Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flow into the room and offering convenient access to the outside space. The open-plan arrangement makes this an ideal setting for modern family life.
To the first floor, the landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms and the family shower room. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite facilities, providing a comfortable and private space for homeowners. The second bedroom also features fitted wardrobes, offering useful built-in storage. The remaining two bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for children, guests or additional home-working space, depending on individual needs.
The family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms and completes the first-floor accommodation.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot and benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a garage, offering additional parking, storage or space for hobbies. Gardens to both the front and rear enhance the property's appeal, providing outdoor space for relaxation, family activities and entertaining. The rear garden is particularly well suited to those looking to enjoy outdoor living and make the most of the additional space.

- 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).
