Nestled within a tranquil 3.5-acre setting, this property offers a compelling opportunity for renovation and redevelopment, pending the necessary planning approvals. The centerpiece is a five-bedroom farmhouse that, while in need of extensive refurbishment, boasts over 2,300 square feet of living space spread across two floors. This layout includes two spacious living rooms, a sizable pantry, and a breakfast kitchen on the ground floor, along with five bedrooms and a family bathroom on the upper level. The property's garden presents unobstructed south-westerly views and ample paved parking is available to the north.
Complementing the farmhouse are nearly 13,000 square feet of outbuildings that enhance its investment potential. At the rear of the farmhouse lies an impressive stone barn with high ceilings and exposed oak king truss beams, encompassing 4,600 square feet over two levels. A former grain store attached to this barn adds another 1,000 square feet for creative use. Additionally, an old milking parlor built in 1947 serves as a single-level workshop with nearly 2,000 square feet of space. This area connects to past dairy facilities and includes several livestock and cart sheds. Completing the collection of structures is a Dutch barn measuring 74 feet by 27 feet—each of these buildings provides significant redevelopment possibilities.
Located in Dethick—a serene hamlet just four miles southeast of Matlock—this property benefits from proximity to local amenities such as supermarkets and dining options available in Matlock. The nearby towns provide easy access to larger centers like Chesterfield (11 miles away), which features rail connections directly to London in under two hours. The A6 road also facilitates convenient travel throughout the region.
This property is serviced by mains electricity and benefits from water sourced from a natural spring; drainage is managed through a private septic tank system. Broadband options include superfast connectivity through fibre to the cabinet or copper broadband.
In addition to its picturesque setting and substantial potential for renovation or development, this Grade II listed property comes with off-street parking for multiple vehicles and access rights that contribute further utility within its rural surroundings.
