This four-bedroom maisonette located on High Street, Buxton, presents a mixed bag. Its central location is a clear advantage, offering easy access to shops, transport links (Buxton train station being within walking distance), and several schools rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. This makes it attractive to families and those who value convenience.

The property shows signs of some modernisation; the kitchen and bathroom, from the images provided, appear relatively newly updated. However, other areas of the property look dated and require work. The presence of visible damp in one of the upstairs bedrooms is a serious concern, likely requiring significant repair and potentially impacting the property’s value. The lack of a garden or any external space is a further drawback, reducing its overall desirability, especially for families.

The list price of £160,000 requires careful consideration. While four-bedroom properties in central Buxton are typically in this price range, this property’s condition and lack of outdoor space may result in it being less competitive than other listings which may offer more modern amenities or land. Potential buyers will need to weigh up the refurbishment costs and potential damp issues against the benefits of the central Buxton location. The property is likely most suitable for investors or buyers willing to undertake significant modernisation works.

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