Description

Call us 9AM - 9PM -7 days a week, 365 days a year!
True to its name, Southwood is where you’ll find this family home nestled amongst trees and countryside! Situated in the highly sought-after village of Baldwin’s Gate, this well-presented four-bedroom detached split-level property combines generous living space with the charm of a rural setting. Surrounded by rolling countryside and wooded hills, it enjoys a peaceful position while remaining well connected, with Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and the M6 motorway all within easy reach. The village itself offers an excellent range of local amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, a traditional pub, post office and village store.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels and has been thoughtfully designed to offer both space and versatility. On entering the property, the hallway leads to a useful guest WC together with two generous double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an ensuite shower room. To the upper floor there are two further double bedrooms, along with a bright and welcoming open-plan living and dining room featuring a log burner, a conservatory overlooking the gardens, a fitted kitchen with adjoining utility room, and a versatile study or games room.
Externally, the property is set within a generous plot of approximately half an acre. A private driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a double garage, while to the rear lies a private garden with an additional woodland area, creating a wonderful sense of seclusion and space.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in one of the area’s most desirable villages, offering a perfect balance of countryside living and convenient access to nearby towns and transport links.

  • 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.
