Description
The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hallway, leading through to a comfortable living room with tasteful décor, a feature fireplace and a warm, homely feel. The separate dining room provides an excellent space for family meals and entertaining, finished with decorative wall panelling, feature wallpaper and plenty of room for a large dining table. The adjoining kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with navy cabinetry, wood-effect work surfaces, patterned flooring, a gas hob, oven, tiled splashbacks and space for appliances, creating a practical and attractive heart of the home.
To the rear, the property benefits from a useful utility room, offering additional appliance space, storage and direct access out to the garden. This extra room adds everyday convenience and helps keep the main living areas clear and organised, while the ground-floor WC further enhances the practicality of the layout.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three well-presented bedrooms, each offering its own character. The principal bedroom is a generous and elegant space with fitted wardrobes, soft décor and a striking feature wall. The second bedroom is another comfortable double, enhanced by a bright window and calming tones, while the third bedroom offers flexibility as a child’s bedroom, guest room, dressing room or home office.
The family bathroom is finished in a modern style with grey tiling, a bath, separate shower enclosure, wash basin, WC and heated towel rail. Natural light from the frosted window, built-in storage and contemporary fittings complete the space with both practicality and style.
Externally, the rear garden is a standout feature, offering a large lawn, paved seating areas, planted borders and enclosed fencing, creating a private outdoor space perfect for relaxing, entertaining and family use. The location is also a major advantage, with Keelings Drive well placed for access to UHNM, local schools, shops and amenities, as well as convenient commuter links across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the wider road network. With its spacious layout, attractive presentation, off-road parking and sought-after Harpfields setting, this home offers a rare opportunity not to be missed.

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).
