Description

Dating from 1880, this Grade II listed detached three-bedroom house stands within the grounds of Duffield Cemetery. The accommodation includes a porch, hallway, separate lounge and dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate first-floor WC. Period details include exposed stonework, high ceilings, chimney breasts and stained-glass windows. The kitchen has fitted units, an electric hob and oven, and a log-burning stove. Outside, the property has front and rear lawns, a covered rear yard, several stores and a detached timber garage. The house is in Duffield, with village shops, schools and recreational facilities nearby. Rail services connect the village with Derby, around five miles to the south. As a listed historic building, any proposed alterations would need to be considered in light of its listed status. The property offers scope for a buyer to assess and update the accommodation while retaining its period features.

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Cemetery Lodge has real character: its Victorian stone architecture, stained-glass details and mature garden make it a distinctive canvas, while the photographed rooms are clean and usable. The dated finishes suggest a light cosmetic refresh rather than a major overhaul, and the weathered outbuilding offers scope for attention too.

The numbers are the constraint: at £400,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks. That makes this a lower-opportunity project despite its appealing character and maintained grounds.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes while retaining the house’s period character.
  • Make the most of the stone elevations, high ceilings and stained-glass details as defining features.
  • Maintain or improve the mature garden and assess the weathered timber outbuilding for repair.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and the purchase-plus-works economics look tight against local benchmarks.
