The asking price of £389,950 seems reasonable for a two-bedroom cottage in Melbourne considering other properties for sale on Castle Mews. However, the absence of square footage for the property and the nearby comparables makes a precise price-per-square-foot comparison impossible. Given the age, location and condition of the property this pricing seems reasonable, but not exceptionally good value, hence the moderate score.

Based on the photos, the property appears to be well-maintained and in generally good condition. The interior has a homely feel but some updating could potentially enhance the property’s value. The presence of a stairlift suggests some adaptations for accessibility but may not be desired by all buyers. The kitchen and bathroom seem slightly dated, however are clean and functional.

The property is located in Castle Mews, Melbourne, Derbyshire, a desirable village known for its charming character and convenient amenities. The proximity to good primary schools (Melbourne Junior and Infant Schools, both with good Ofsted ratings) adds to its appeal for families. While the nearest train station is a bit further out (9.98km), the village itself offers a convenient setting for those who don’t rely heavily on public transport. Overall, the location is good, but its slightly distance from major transport links slightly detracts from a perfect score.

The property includes a small, manageable garden. While the size is not significant, it provides an outdoor space, which is a valuable feature for many buyers. The garden appears well-maintained but not extremely spacious. The additional space provided by the garage may offset the relative small size of the garden.
