This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Belper, Derbyshire, presents a mixed bag. The property is situated in a convenient location with good access to local schools such as St John’s Cofe Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and is within a reasonable distance to Belper train station. The property benefits from a sizable rear garden that offers some privacy and space, and includes a detached garage. This is a valuable asset and adds to the property’s overall value.

However, the property’s interior requires modernisation. The photos reveal dated décor and furnishings throughout the house. The kitchen and bathroom specifically are in need of updating. Whilst there is no visible structural damage, potential buyers should budget for a refurbishment to bring the house to a contemporary standard. The lack of square footage information makes it difficult to fully assess the value-per-square-foot, especially in comparison to similar nearby properties; therefore, a full analysis of value for money is currently impossible.

Overall, this property presents an opportunity for someone looking to purchase a family home in a good location with substantial outdoor space but willing and able to carry out refurbishment work. The current asking price seems reasonable for the area considering the location and land, but the need for renovation should be factored into the final decision making process.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
