Description
To the front, the house is set back behind a lawned garden with driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a detached garage. Inside, the ground floor offers a good-sized reception room with bay window and fireplace, enjoying a pleasant outlook to the front. The kitchen overlooks the rear and is of a practical size, with scope to reconfigure or create a kitchen-diner, subject to requirements.
Upstairs are two genuine double bedrooms and a bathroom, all in dated but serviceable condition, ready for refurbishment. Windows in the principal rooms allow for good natural light and open views across neighbouring rooftops.
Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden is laid largely to paving with boundary walling and access to the garage, offering potential as a private seating or entertaining area.
Furlong Road is well placed for local amenities in the Tunstall and Burslem areas, including supermarkets, everyday shops and cafés. Nearby green spaces such as Burslem Park and Tunstall Park provide attractive open areas for walking and recreation. Public transport links are convenient, with regular bus services towards Hanley and other parts of the city. Longport railway station is the nearest mainline connection, offering services towards Crewe and Derby, while road users benefit from easy access to the A50 and A500, connecting with the M6 for wider regional travel.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.

- 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).
