Description
"Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury" ~ Coco Chanel
A beautifully presented two-bedroom detached bungalow occupying an enviable elevated position in the sought-after area of Meir Heath. Finished to an excellent standard throughout, the property offers stylish and well-proportioned accommodation, off-road parking, a garage, and a superb landscaped garden with stunning far-reaching views.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - A stunning two-bedroom detached bungalow occupying an enviable elevated position on Gravelly Bank in the highly regarded area of Meir Heath. Beautifully improved by the current owners to an excellent standard throughout, the property offers stylish, thoughtfully designed interiors and well-proportioned accommodation that will appeal to a broad range of buyers.
An inviting entrance hall welcomes you into the home and features attractive original parquet flooring, setting the tone for the quality and character found throughout. Positioned to the front aspect, the kitchen is fitted with a modern range of shaker-style units complemented by quality integrated appliances and a breakfast bar providing a perfect space for informal dining.
The lounge is located to the rear of the property and is a particularly impressive space, featuring a contemporary part-panelled media wall and a door that open out to the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the room while framing the beautiful outlook beyond.
The bungalow enjoys two generous double bedrooms, both positioned to the rear aspect and benefitting from delightful views across the garden and far-reaching scenery beyond. To the front of the property is a stylish, contemporary shower room fitted with a walk-in rainfall shower, and this sits adjacent to a practical utility/boot room providing additional storage and everyday convenience.
Externally, the property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles and featuring an electric car charging point. The driveway leads to an attached single garage fitted with an electric roller door.
The rear garden is undoubtedly a standout feature, having been beautifully landscaped to create a tranquil and highly attractive outdoor space. A manicured lawn is bordered by mature shrubs and planting, while a paved pathway gently winds through the garden to reach both paved and decked seating areas. From here, the property enjoys truly stunning far-reaching views across the surrounding city and countryside beyond.
Situated in the sought-after area of Meir Heath, the property is conveniently located within easy reach of local shops and everyday amenities, while excellent road links provide straightforward access to Stoke-on-Trent city centre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and the nearby market town of Stone.
Location - Meir Heath is a highly desirable village on the outskirts of Stoke on Trent, offering an attractive blend of semi-rural living and everyday convenience. Surrounded by open countryside, it provides a peaceful setting with a strong sense of community, making it particularly appealing to families and professionals alike.
The village benefits from a range of local amenities, while more extensive shopping, dining and leisure facilities can be found nearby in Longton and at the popular Trentham Estate. Well-regarded schools, nearby green spaces and excellent commuter links—including access to the A50 and rail services from Blythe Bridge—further enhance its appeal.
Overall, Meir Heath offers a superb balance of countryside charm and modern convenience, making it a consistently popular choice for a wide range of buyers.

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).
