Description
The property is set back from the road behind an impressive gravelled driveway, providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles. Gated access to the side leads through to the rear garden, while the traditional red-brick exterior and bay windows create an appealing frontage.
Upon entering the property, an entrance lobby provides access to the living room and has stairs rising to the first-floor landing. The living room is positioned at the front of the home and offers a comfortable and welcoming space, with a wide bay window allowing plenty of natural light to enter. There is ample room for a range of seating and additional freestanding furniture.
To the rear is a spacious dining and family area, providing a versatile second reception space that could be used for dining, informal seating or a combination of both. French doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an excellent connection between the indoor and outdoor areas and making this a particularly enjoyable space for everyday living and entertaining.
The new kitchen is fitted with a smart range of contemporary white wall and base units, contrasting work surfaces, a stainless-steel sink and drainer, an integrated oven, an electric hob and an extractor hood. There is also space for further appliances, while the windows provide good natural light and views towards the garden. The kitchen sits conveniently beside the dining area, creating a practical and sociable layout.
The first-floor landing provides access to two well-proportioned bedrooms and the shower room. The principal bedroom is a particularly generous double room with a front-facing bay window and ample space for wardrobes, drawers and further bedroom furniture.
The second bedroom is also well sized and offers flexibility for use as a guest bedroom, child’s room, home office or dressing room.
The shower room is fitted with a modern suite comprising a corner shower enclosure, a wash basin with storage beneath and a low-level WC. A window provides natural light and ventilation, while contemporary finishes complete the room.
Externally, the enclosed rear garden is a notable feature of the property. It offers a generous lawn, a paved seating area close to the house and fenced boundaries, providing plenty of space for outdoor dining, children’s play, gardening or further landscaping.
Situated within the established area of Oakhill, the property is conveniently located for local shops, schools, parks and everyday amenities. Stoke-on-Trent city centre, Newcastle-under-Lyme and surrounding employment areas are also readily accessible, together with useful road and public transport connections.
With its spacious accommodation, new kitchen, large driveway and generous rear garden, this appealing home represents an excellent opportunity in a popular residential location. Early viewing is highly recommended.

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).
