Description

Offered at auction, this detached barn in the centre of Duffield is part renovated and comes with an enclosed walled courtyard. The accommodation is arranged around an open-plan ground-floor room with a cast-iron multi-burner and York stone surround, with stairs leading to a first-floor landing and two double rooms. A further space is identified as a potential bathroom, which is not fitted. Exposed brickwork and oak doors and architraves are among the retained features. The barn is described as having a replacement tiled roof and is built partly of stone and partly of brick. The courtyard has Iroko hardwood gates, mostly cobbled paving, a well and a raised pond. The seller reports vehicular access, which buyers should verify through the legal pack. The property is offered with vacant possession and is in a conservation area, so buyers should make their own enquiries about the relevant requirements and the scope of any proposed works. Duffield has shops, pubs and restaurants, schools, recreational facilities and a railway station. The village lies around five miles north of Derby and three miles south of Belper. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with a 10% deposit and a buyer's fee payable on exchange; prospective bidders should review the legal pack and auction terms before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

37out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached barn has a distinctive stone-and-brick exterior, replacement tiled roof and an enclosed cobbled courtyard with retained features. Inside, it is part-finished, with exposed framing and unfinished surfaces, so the appeal is the chance to complete and shape a substantial conversion rather than take on a cosmetic refresh. The £120,000 guide is difficult to assess against local value because floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.

Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Complete and configure the part-finished interior, making use of the open-plan ground floor, exposed brickwork and rooflit first-floor rooms.
  • Build on the barn’s mixed stone-and-brick character, tiled roof and timber details to create a distinctive finished home.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed cobbled courtyard while retaining its masonry features, pond and original well.

Key risks

  • Part-finished interiors, exposed framing and incomplete roof lining make this a heavy full-interior programme; allow for a rebuild and making-good sequence rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The courtyard includes an open well and loose masonry, which need careful assessment and safe management.
