A three-bedroom semi-detached house on Highfield Road offering a practical, affordable entry into Ashbourne. The property is freehold with mains gas heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C, making it mechanically sound but in need of cosmetic and modernisation works to reach its full potential.
Internally the layout suits young families or buy-to-let investors: sitting room, dining kitchen with conservatory-style extension and three bedrooms upstairs. At 884 sq ft the accommodation is average-sized and useable; the main bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and the rear garden is well presented with patio, decking and planted borders — a ready-made outdoor space that could be enhanced further.
Location is a key strength: within comfortable walking distance of Ashbourne town centre, Waterside shopping, schools and bus routes. Practical advantages include a double-width tarmac driveway for off-street parking and convenient broadband/mobile coverage considerations (excellent mobile signal, although broadband speeds are slow).
Honest drawbacks: the house requires modernisation throughout and sits in an area with higher local crime levels, which may affect some buyers’ suitability. The plot is relatively small and some cosmetic repairs and updating to kitchen and bathroom are likely to be needed. For first-time buyers or investors prepared to refurbish, the property represents clear scope to add value.
