This property offers a notable renovation and investment opportunity, situated on an expansive 3.5-acre site featuring a five-bedroom farmhouse with stunning views. The primary residence, while in need of refurbishment, encompasses over 2,300 square feet of living space spread across two levels. The ground floor includes two living rooms, a spacious pantry, and a breakfast kitchen, while the upper level houses five bedrooms along with a family bathroom. The landscaped garden, predominantly laid to lawn, enjoys south-westerly vistas, making it an ideal setting for relaxation or outdoor development.
Complementing the farmhouse are nearly 13,000 square feet of additional structures that collectively enhance the property’s redevelopment potential (subject to planning permission). Among these is a substantial stone barn that spans approximately 4,600 square feet across two floors; its high ceilings and exposed oak king truss beams add historical charm and versatility for various uses. A former grain store adjacent to this barn contributes another 1,000 square feet of usable space. Additionally, there is a single-level workshop formerly utilized as a milking parlor, offering almost 2,000 square feet for further customization.
The property also features several agricultural buildings including livestock sheds and a Dutch barn measuring 74ft x 27ft; all present considerable options for redevelopment or conversion depending on your vision and local regulations.
Located in Dethick—a tranquil hamlet just four miles southeast of Matlock—this site benefits from both rural charm and proximity to urban amenities. Matlock offers essential services such as supermarkets and healthcare facilities while Chesterfield lies within an 11-mile distance and provides direct rail access to London in under two hours. The area serves as an excellent base for exploring the Peak District National Park, which is renowned for its natural beauty.
Educational opportunities are nearby as well; Lea Primary School is rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted and sits only one mile from the property.
Practical aspects include water supplied by a natural spring, mains electricity connection, and drainage through a private septic system. The current broadband services encompass fibre options alongside traditional connections.
This unique property not only presents significant potential for renovation but also represents an attractive investment opportunity within a picturesque setting conducive to both residential living and development projects.
