Description
Set back within the courtyard, the property enjoys a pleasant approach together with off-road parking. Stepping through the front door, you are welcomed into a bright entrance hallway with a fresh, neutral finish and useful under-stairs storage, immediately setting the tone for the well-kept accommodation beyond.
To the front of the property sits the fitted kitchen, a practical and well-appointed space finished with a range of contemporary cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There is plenty of preparation and storage space, making this an attractive and functional kitchen for everyday use.
Continuing through to the rear, the home opens into a spacious living and dining room. Light, comfortable and easy to furnish, this is a particularly inviting space for both relaxing and entertaining. Decorative wall panelling adds a stylish finishing touch, while wide patio doors draw in plenty of natural light and open directly onto the rear garden, creating a lovely connection between the living space and outdoors.
Heading upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double and benefits from useful built-in storage, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a further bedroom, guest room or home office.
The family bathroom has also been finished in a clean, modern style and includes a bath with shower over, wash basin with vanity storage beneath and WC, creating a practical space that complements the rest of the home.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind. Decked seating areas, raised planted borders and enclosed fencing combine to create a private and attractive outdoor space that is ready to enjoy, whether for summer dining, entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day.
Freshly refurbished, well cared for and ready to move straight into, this appealing home would make an excellent choice for first-time buyers, professionals or investors, particularly with the Royal Stoke University Hospital and major commuter routes within easy reach. Offered with no onward chain, viewing is highly advised to fully appreciate the presentation, setting and convenience this lovely home has to offer.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- This street — Gross yield for this street only (Land Registry sales + rental comparables, same postcode + street).
- 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).
