Description
The property has been significantly enhanced by a substantial ground floor extension, creating an exceptional open-plan breakfast/dining kitchen and family room. This stunning space features Velux roof lights, a high-quality fitted kitchen, breakfast bar, generous dining area, and comfortable seating space, making it perfect for modern family living and entertaining. Double glazed doors lead directly out to the rear garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living areas. A comfortable sitting room with a stylish feature wall completes the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes, together with a well-appointed modern shower room.
The house sits on a larger than average plot with off road parking on a brick paved driveway and double gates leading down the side of the house to mature gardens to the rear. The well established gardens are mainly laid to lawn with borders planted with a variety of specimen shrubs and trees and enjoying a sunny, Westerly aspect.
Westbury Park is a popular residential estate with nearby amenities including a Co-op food store, Westbury Tavern Pub and Chinese take-away. There is a regular bus service to Newcastle town centre and excellent transport links via the A500 and M6. Newcastle town centre provides more comprehensive amenities with specialist and high street stores, bars, restaurants and a choice of supermarkets.
This house is ideally suited to first time buyers or buy to let investors. We expect this very tidy house to prove popular and it is offered for sale with no upward chain.

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).
