Description

Offered at public auction, this Grade II listed stone-built semi-detached house has four bedrooms arranged over three floors and is described as requiring modernisation. The ground floor includes an entrance porch and hall, a lounge, a separate dining room, and a rear kitchen with pantry and access to the cellar. Three bedrooms and a family bathroom are on the first floor, with a further bedroom and substantial storage areas on the second floor. Original features are noted in the particulars, and the accommodation offers scope for a purchaser to adapt it, subject to the requirements that apply to a listed building. Outside, the property has an enclosed courtyard-style area with space for seating and off-road parking for multiple vehicles. A small outbuilding adjoins the neighbouring building. The house is freehold and is offered with vacant possession; the particulars note a pedestrian right of way across the courtyard for a neighbouring property. Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage are stated, with gas-fired central heating. The property is in Eyam, within the Peak District National Park, with village amenities and access to the A623 nearby. The listing also identifies Bakewell, Calver and Buxton as nearby towns, and notes road access towards Sheffield and Manchester. The sale is by public auction, with the stated auction date and venue set out in the particulars.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Stanley House has a distinctive setting and a substantial canvas: a Grade II listed, three-storey stone house in Eyam, with spacious-looking rooms, tall windows, fireplaces, a courtyard and parking for multiple vehicles. The photographed interiors show worn floors, dated finishes and visible wall and ceiling damage, while the kitchen and bathroom are also tired. That gives a buyer scope to reshape and refresh the house, improve the courtyard and bring out its original character; the roof covering looks broadly present from outside, though its close condition is unknown.

The £55,000–£95,000 renovation range points to a major project rather than a cosmetic update. At 47/100, this is a lower-scoring opportunity: the score reflects limited condition readiness, while the fundamentals are stronger. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; without it, the purchase-plus-works position also cannot be assessed against a residual value.

Key opportunities

  • Use the three-storey layout and spacious-looking rooms to create a cohesive four-bedroom home while retaining and highlighting the stone character, tall windows and fireplaces.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom and renew worn floors and finishes as part of a joined-up interior scheme.
  • Clear and tidy the enclosed courtyard to make better use of the outdoor space alongside the multiple-vehicle parking.

Key risks

  • Visible wall and ceiling damage across the photographed interiors, including deterioration around the kitchen window and ceiling, needs investigation before the scope is fixed.
  • The £55,000–£95,000 works range and damage across several photographed rooms make this a substantial budget and programme commitment, not a cosmetic refresh.
