Westerdale Drive, Keele, ST5

Looking for a home that’s got style, space, and a garden ready for summer BBQs (or at least somewhere to pretend you enjoy the temperamental British weather)? Then this charming property might just be the one that makes you cancel the rest of your house viewings. Thoughtfully laid out and full of personality, it’s a home that’s easy to imagine yourself settling straight into.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a welcoming entrance hall, a bright and practical space finished with wood laminate flooring, a ceiling light point and a staircase rising to the first floor. From here, oak effect doors lead conveniently to the kitchen diner, lounge, and guest WC, while a handy under-stairs cupboard provides useful storage for everything from coats to that mysterious box of cables nobody dares throw away.

To the front of the home sits the stylish kitchen diner, complete with attractive tiled flooring and a double glazed box window that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern grey matt base units, drawers, and wall cupboards topped with laminate roll-top work surfaces. A stainless steel one-and-a-half bowl sink with swan neck mixer tap sits beneath the window, while the fitted electric oven with four-ring gas hob and extractor hood above makes cooking a pleasure (or at least makes takeaway look more impressive when plated nicely). An integrated fridge freezer is neatly tucked away, and there’s ample space for a six-seater dining table – perfect for family meals, entertaining friends, or spreading out the Sunday papers.

To the rear, the lounge is a relaxing and stylish space featuring warm wood laminate flooring and double glazed French doors alongside a window overlooking the garden, allowing the room to be bathed in natural light. A stunning sage green panelled feature wall creates a beautiful focal point and adds a touch of contemporary charm — the sort of wall that quietly says, “Yes, this house has good taste.”

The guest WC is finished with laminate flooring and fitted with a WC and wash basin – ideal for guests and everyday convenience.

Upstairs, the landing offers access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom. A storage cupboard houses the Vaillant gas combination boiler, while a hatch leads to the loft, providing additional storage space for suitcases, Christmas decorations, and those gym weights you’ll definitely use next year.

The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the property, enjoying views across the green via a double glazed box window. It benefits from a range of fitted Sharps double wardrobes, offering excellent storage, as well as its own ensuite shower room. The ensuite features a double shower cubicle with rainfall shower, WC, and a vanity wash basin, with a privacy window to the front allowing in natural light while maintaining discretion.

Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden through a double glazed window and offers plenty of space for wardrobes and furnishings, making it an ideal double bedroom.

Bedroom three also enjoys views over the garden and is finished with laminate flooring. This versatile room works equally well as a single bedroom, nursery, or home office — depending on whether you’re growing a family or just trying to avoid working at the kitchen table.

The family bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising a panel bath, WC, and wash basin, complemented by a chrome heated towel rail and a privacy window to the side elevation.

Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and easy maintenance. An attractive Indian stone patio creates the perfect seating and entertaining area, leading up to a raised lawn garden bordered by timber fencing and wall boundaries for privacy – an ideal space to enjoy sunny afternoons, summer evenings, or a quiet cup of tea while admiring your new home alfresco style!

All in all, this is a home that ticks the boxes for modern living, comfort, and a lot of style along the way. The only real challenge left? Deciding where the sofa goes… and who’s in charge of the BBQ.
