This two-bedroom detached bungalow in Youlgrave, Derbyshire, presents a mixed bag of attributes. Its location in the sought-after Peak District village of Youlgrave is a significant advantage. The village’s charming character and beautiful surrounding countryside are major draws for prospective buyers. The proximity of Youlgrave, All Saints’ Cofe (Va) Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is also a valuable asset for families.

However, the property’s condition presents a more nuanced picture. The provided photographs reveal an interior that could benefit from modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom in particular show their age, and updating them would likely improve the property’s overall appeal and value. The interior design throughout appears somewhat dated, requiring updates to match contemporary tastes.

The size of the garden is modest, offering some outdoor space but not extensive grounds. This might be a limiting factor for buyers seeking substantial outdoor areas. The lack of detailed plot size information in the listing prevents a precise determination of the garden’s dimensions.

Concerning the price, the listing at £375,000 appears competitive when compared to the available data on similar properties in the immediate vicinity, although a lack of consistent square footage data for similar properties makes definitive price-per-square-foot analysis impossible. The need for modernisation should be factored into the purchase price consideration, providing scope for buyers to negotiate and leverage the need for renovations.

In summary, this property offers a potentially worthwhile investment in a highly desirable location. However, prospective buyers should account for the necessary upgrades to fully realise the property’s potential value. A thorough survey is strongly recommended before proceeding with any offer.

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