The property is located in Buxton, Derbyshire, a popular spa town in the Peak District National Park. The area benefits from good transport links via train to Manchester and Sheffield, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. There are a number of primary and secondary schools nearby, including Burbage Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) which is less than 0.2km away. Saint John’s Road itself has an average house price of £376,213, suggesting this property is situated in a desirable residential area. However, the lack of specific plot size and square footage information prevents a detailed analysis of land size and value per square foot.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms show dated fixtures and fittings, and the decor throughout the house is tired. While the structure of the house seems sound, significant renovation would be required to bring it up to modern standards. This would include updating the kitchen and bathrooms, redecorating, and potentially addressing any underlying maintenance issues.

The property includes a garden, which appears to be of a reasonable size for a property of this type. The garden includes a shed and patio area, adding to its appeal.

Given the list price of £270,000, and considering the average house price in the area is £295,393, the property appears to be competitively priced. However, the lack of information regarding the property’s square footage makes it impossible to accurately assess the price per square foot and determine whether it represents good value for money. The need for significant renovation should be factored into any valuation. The average price of nearby properties on Saint John’s Road ranges from £250,000 to £440,000, with the majority falling between £270,000 and £322,000. This suggests that the asking price is within the typical range for properties in this location. However, the condition of the property must be considered when comparing it to other properties.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
