Description
The property offers well-planned accommodation, a bright and practical layout, driveway parking and a pleasant enclosed rear garden, making it a superb opportunity for buyers looking to take their first step onto the property ladder. Set within a popular residential area, the home is well placed for local amenities, schools, commuter links and access into Newcastle under Lyme town centre.
The accommodation begins with an entrance hallway, giving access to the kitchen and main living area. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream shaker-style units, wood-effect work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and a window to the front aspect. There is an integrated oven, gas hob and extractor, along with space for further appliances, creating a functional and neatly arranged cooking space.
To the rear of the property is a spacious living room diner, offering a comfortable and versatile area for everyday living. The room benefits from wood effect flooring, neutral décor and a staircase rising to the first floor. There is ample space for both lounge and dining furniture, making it ideal for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying day-to-day family life. From here, doors lead through into the conservatory, adding a valuable additional reception space.
The conservatory is a lovely feature of the home, filled with natural light and enjoying views over the rear garden. With French doors opening directly onto the decked seating area, it provides a pleasant connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and works well as a sitting room, dining area, play space or home office.
To the first floor, the landing leads to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a comfortable double room, while the second bedroom is also a double, offering flexibility as a guest bedroom, dressing room, nursery or home office. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising bath with shower screen, wash basin and WC, complemented by tiled walls and a frosted window.
Externally, the property benefits from a long driveway to the front, providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The rear garden is a generous and private-feeling outdoor space, with decking directly outside the conservatory, a lawned area, mature planting, established hedging and fenced boundaries. The garden offers excellent potential for outdoor seating, gardening or entertaining during the warmer months.
With no upward chain, driveway parking, a conservatory, enclosed rear garden and a convenient Westbury Park location, this well-presented home is an ideal first time purchase and early viewing is highly recommended.

- 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).
