Dethick, Matlock

Babington Farm presents a distinct opportunity for those looking to invest in a characterful rural property with significant renovation potential. Nestled on an expansive plot, the site comprises three barns, one of which already has planning permission for conversion into a four-bedroom residence, with initial works underway. This unique configuration offers versatile options, whether it's creating a family home or exploring multi-generational living arrangements, alongside potential for holiday rentals given its picturesque countryside setting. Accessed via two gated driveways, flexibility is at the forefront of this location's appeal. The adjacent garden area provides ample outdoor space, while planning permission is also secured for a detached garage, enhancing functionality. With multiple water supplies and private springs available, there are opportunities for subdivision, subject to necessary approvals. The property is conveniently positioned near charming villages like Lea and Cromford and provides easy access to Matlock and key transport links for commuters. Each barn offers generous dimensions suitable for transformation: Barn 2 has plans to become a spacious living area with a mezzanine; Barn 4 and Barn 5 present further possibilities for additional living accommodation or other uses (pending planning). The beautiful cherry tree-lined driveway adds to the charm of this investment opportunity in the Dethick conservation area.
