The list price of £85,000 seems relatively reasonable in the context of comparable properties in Ashbourne. Similar one-bedroom apartments in retirement complexes in the area appear to be priced between £80,000 and £100,000. However, given the property’s need for some modernization, and the lack of private outdoor space, the price sits towards the lower end of what might be considered fair market value. The absence of square footage information for comparable properties makes an absolute price-per-square-foot comparison unreliable.

The property appears to be in reasonable condition, although the photos suggest it may benefit from some modernisation. The interior looks clean and well-maintained, but the decor is dated. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, appear somewhat basic and could be updated to enhance appeal and value.

Ashbourne is a desirable market town in Derbyshire, offering a good range of amenities and services. The proximity to several well-regarded schools, such as Ashbourne Primary School and Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), is a significant advantage. While specific transportation links weren’t detailed, Ashbourne’s town centre location suggests reasonable accessibility.

The property benefits from access to communal gardens. While this provides some outdoor space, it’s not a private garden, hence the lower score. The lack of private land is a common feature for apartments, especially in retirement complexes.
