How much free space on July 2014 15in Macbook Pro base model with 256gb hardrive

Hello! I am looking at purchasing a refurb July 2014 15in Macbook Pro base model with 256gb hard drive.
I am interested in how much free space is present out of the box. How many GB does Apple's base OS X and apps occupy?

Thanks

Really there is less than 10gb used on the HDD? Wow, thx!

Actually this is a mid 2015, not 2014.

A new Mac with the iLife and iWorks apps installed will use about 20GB of drive space.

Thank you very much. I ordered a refurb base 2014 model for my wife(it has taken her 4.5yrs to accumulate 200gb on 2010 iMac). I think she will be golden with 256gb as she will writing a few school papers and using the internet but wanted the bigger screen

FWIW, the drive had 230gb free out the 256 GB

Exactly. You have 250GB formatted capacity, minus the 20GB for OS X and iLife/iWorks, leaves you with 230GB usable.
