I'm not familiar enough with the .co.uk market to make a professional estimate, but by way of pointing you to the general market conditions, here are some similar recent sales (all this year, from SEDO):

designer.co.uk info $76,300
webdesign.co.uk $37,756
(obviously those two are the top of the market)

design247.co.uk $1,600
simplywebdesign.co.uk $1,295
logodesigners.co.uk $410
expresswebdesign.co.uk $350

Again, this is purely speculation (if informed speculation) but looking at the big jump between Express Web Design and Simply Web Design leads me to believe that the latter had a motivated buyer -- and navigating to them, one finds the former isn't even parked more than a month after it was transferred, but the latter belongs to a local web design company that has apparently been in business longer than it has owned the domain.

Short version of all that is, it's really not a bad domain at all, and while some would point out that it lacks strong keyword value, it could be applied to design companies outside the web industry, giving you a larger potential pool of buyers. I think you could easily get $50-$100 in a venue like Bido or in a "passive" auction, and that if you listed it with one of the bigger services and actively promoted the auction, you might could get a price approaching those garnered by LogoDesigners and ExpressWebDesign, more if you happen to find a firm who could use it (eg. a UK local firm on a .net extension, such as seen here)

Sorry if the answer seems a bit obtuse, but hope the information is of interest.
