The listed price of £285,000 seems relatively reasonable considering the property’s size and location within Shelton Lock. Comparable properties in the area, as shown in nearby listings, have similar price points. However, the lack of precise square footage details in the nearby listings makes this comparison less precise. The property’s condition requiring some modernisation also weighs against a higher price.

The property appears to be generally well-maintained from the photos, with no major issues evident. However, some rooms show a need for modernisation and updating of décor and fixtures. While structurally sound, a moderate level of refurbishment would likely enhance its appeal and value.

Shelton Lock is a popular residential area in Derby, known for its family-friendly atmosphere. The proximity to good schools (Shelton Junior and Infant Schools receiving ‘Good’ and ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings respectively) and relatively easy access to Derby city centre and transport links via Peartree train station, contributes to a desirable location. However, it’s not in the most central location which is why the score isn’t higher.

The property benefits from a sizeable rear garden, providing significant outdoor space, rare in the area. This is a noteworthy feature, boosting its overall value, although the exact plot size isn’t provided.
