The list price of £285,000 for a 1000 sq ft, five-bedroom terraced house in Derby needs further context for accurate evaluation. While comparable properties in Merchant Street and nearby streets show price variation, without specific price per sqft data and information on property features and quality comparable to this listing, a precise pricing assessment is difficult. However, based on the available data indicating a range of property prices on Merchant Street, the price appears to be within the upper range, thus scoring 7.

The property appears reasonably well-maintained from the photos provided. While it’s not in pristine condition and shows some signs of wear and tear (some rooms seem cluttered), there are no major visible defects. Some minor cosmetic upgrades could significantly improve the aesthetic appeal. This warrants a score of 6, reflecting the adequate but not excellent condition.

The property is located in Darley, Derby, which benefits from proximity to several schools (Ashgate Primary School, Jasmine Hall School etc.) rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, making it attractive to families. The area is also relatively close to Derby city centre and has railway stations within a reasonable distance. This positive aspect is somewhat balanced by the lack of detailed information on the immediate neighbourhood and potential drawbacks, hence the score of 7.

The property includes a garden, which is a desirable feature in the UK housing market. However, the plot size is not specified. The provided image of the garden shows a relatively small, manageable space. The lack of information on the garden’s size, and the overall limited land area, lead to a score of 4.
