The attractive brick and rendered frontage gives the home strong kerb appeal, while the extended accommodation creates a well-balanced layout ideally suited to larger families, multi-generational living, entertaining and those looking for space to work from home.
On entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hallway that provides access to the main ground floor accommodation. The living room is bright, comfortable and well proportioned, featuring a large front-facing window, modern lighting and a feature fireplace, creating an inviting space for relaxing at the end of the day.

The dining room is a particularly appealing space, offering ample room for a large dining table and chairs, making it well suited to family meals, celebrations and hosting guests. Velux windows allow additional natural light to pour into the room, enhancing the sense of space and creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere, while the decorative feature wall adds character and interest.
The kitchen is well appointed with a range of wooden wall and base units, generous worktop space, integrated appliances and a pleasant outlook over the rear garden. Its practical layout provides plenty of storage and preparation space for everyday family use. A useful utility room offers dedicated laundry facilities and further worktop space, while a ground floor WC and vestibule add to the overall convenience of the home.
To the first floor, the property continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering flexibility for family life. The main bedroom benefits from fitted storage and a private en-suite shower room, while a further en-suite adds additional convenience for guests, older children or extended family. The remaining bedrooms are bright and versatile, suitable for children’s rooms, guest accommodation, dressing rooms or home office space. A modern family bathroom serves the rest of the first floor, complete with bath and overhead shower, vanity storage and contemporary fittings.
Externally, the rear garden is a superb feature of the property, offering an enclosed and well-maintained outdoor space with a generous lawn, paved patio areas, mature planting and established borders. The garden is ideal for children, pets, outdoor dining and summer entertaining, with direct access from the rear reception room helping to create a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Shefford Road is a desirable and convenient location within Seabridge, well placed for everyday amenities, local shops, commuter routes and access into Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre.

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).
