The list price of £145,000 seems reasonable in the context of other properties in the area and the condition of the property. Comparable properties on Bower Farm Road have sold for similar prices. While needing renovation, the property’s size and location support its value. The ‘non-standard’ construction might affect some buyers but might account for lower pricing than comparable properties. This is mitigated by the overall reasonable price and demand in the location.

The property shows signs of needing significant modernisation. While structurally sound from the external photos, the interior pictures reveal dated decor, worn carpets, and some potential maintenance issues (e.g., some wall damage). It requires a considerable amount of work to be brought up to a modern standard.

Old Whittington is a desirable residential area in Chesterfield, known for its family-friendly atmosphere and proximity to amenities. The presence of nearby schools, including Mary Swanwick Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and relatively easy access to Chesterfield town centre via public transport or car contribute to its appeal. However, it’s not a top-tier location in the wider Chesterfield area, hence the score.

The property features a garden of a reasonable size for a semi-detached house in the area, including a patio, shed, and some planted areas. Although not exceptionally large, it is usable outdoor space, thus the relatively higher score.
