This two-bedroom semi-detached property in Mackworth, Derby, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Located on Chiswick Close, it benefits from its proximity to several schools, including the ‘Good’-rated Maple View School, making it potentially appealing to families. The property also features a garden, offering some outdoor space, although it requires significant landscaping and maintenance.

However, the property is in need of substantial modernisation and refurbishment. The interior photos reveal outdated decor, damaged walls and ceilings, and overall wear and tear throughout. The kitchen and bathroom appear particularly dated and require complete renovation. This will represent a significant cost for any prospective buyer.

The asking price aligns with some properties in the immediate area but the variations in price on Chiswick Close highlight the disparity in properties in need of refurbishment versus those that are modernised. The need for extensive renovations should be considered carefully. While the location and presence of a garden are positive aspects, the significant investment required for renovation needs to be factored into any purchasing decision. Potential buyers should budget for extensive refurbishment to fully realise the property’s potential.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
