Description

The Ivies is a Grade II listed detached stone house in Ellastone, with four bedrooms and a plot of approximately 0.78 acres. Thought to date from the early to mid-19th century, the property is associated with the former Calwich Abbey Estate and retains period details including stone mullioned windows, exposed beams and fireplaces. It is described as habitable, though the accommodation would benefit from modernisation, offering scope to update it while retaining its historic character. The ground floor has three reception rooms, a kitchen with a pantry, a large utility and boot room, and a shower room. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with two further attic rooms providing additional useful space. The house also has a detached single garage and a driveway with off-street parking. The grounds include established garden areas and open countryside views. Ellastone has a village pub and is within reach of Ashbourne, Uttoxeter, Alton and Denstone. The property is offered with no upward chain.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The Ivies is a substantial Grade II listed stone house with period character, generous accommodation and a 0.78-acre plot with countryside views. Its habitable but old-fashioned interiors offer a medium-scale opportunity to refresh the decoration and flooring and modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, while the established grounds have scope for improvement. The stone exterior and slate roof appear generally intact in the available views.

At £600,000, the asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The 53/100 D grade is therefore a weak overall opportunity rather than a verdict that the house is overpriced: the character, space and setting are appealing, but value and resale economics remain difficult to assess without that area information.

Key opportunities

  • Retain and showcase period details including stone mullioned windows, exposed beams and fireplaces across the generous accommodation.
  • Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, and update decoration and flooring to create a fresher family home.
  • Make more of the 0.78-acre grounds, with established planting, countryside views and scope to improve rougher areas.

Key risks

  • As a Grade II listed property, alterations and some improvement choices may require additional care and checks.
  • The floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf and the resale economics cannot yet be judged.
  • Parts of the wider grounds are rough or overgrown and may require ongoing management.
