The property is located in Darley Dale, Derbyshire, a picturesque village in the Derbyshire Dales. The area benefits from good local schooling options, with several primary schools within a reasonable distance, including Darley Churchtown Church of England Primary School and Rowsley Cofe (Controlled) Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to Matlock, Matlock Bath and Cromford, all accessible via East Midlands Railway, provides convenient transport links. While the exact distance to shops and other amenities isn’t specified, the village setting suggests these are likely within easy reach. The surrounding countryside offers scenic views and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be in excellent condition. The kitchen and bathroom have been recently renovated to a high standard, featuring modern fixtures and fittings. The rest of the property is presented well, with clean lines and a fresh, updated feel. There is no visible evidence of significant repairs or renovations needed.

The property includes a garden, as shown in the external photographs. The size is noted as 978 sqft, which is a decent-sized plot for a property of this type in the area. The garden appears to be relatively manageable, with a patio area and space for planting.

The list price of £400,000 is slightly higher than the average price of £305,000 for the area. However, considering the property’s apparent excellent condition, the inclusion of a garden, and its location in a desirable village setting, the price may be justified. The lack of square footage information for the property prevents a precise comparison with the average price per square foot in the area. Nearby comparable properties on Thorncliffe Avenue are listed at prices ranging from £142,000 to £410,000, indicating some price variation within the street itself. Further analysis of the property’s internal square footage would be needed for a more definitive assessment of its value.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
