Description

Lees Hall Farm is a rural site of approximately 3.15 acres in Harehill, within the parish of Boylestone. It includes a Grade II listed red-brick farmhouse, traditional and modern agricultural buildings, and a yard. The farmhouse is described as requiring modernisation and has around 3,200 sq ft of accommodation, with five bedrooms, including two with en-suite bathrooms, two further attic rooms, a main bathroom, kitchen, walk-in pantry, sitting room, dining room, WC and storeroom. Period features are retained. The property is offered freehold with vacant possession and is connected to mains electricity, water and gas central heating, with private drainage. Class Q approval is stated for conversion of the agricultural buildings into nine dwellings, under two permissions covering five and four units. A separate application is awaiting determination for demolition of some buildings, conversion and extension of barns for up to four homes, and up to five new-build dwellings. The site is in open countryside, approximately seven miles from Ashbourne and ten miles from Uttoxeter, with the A50 and A515 providing wider road connections. The farmhouse and wider site present a substantial modernisation and development project; planning conditions, listed-building requirements, services and the scope of the permissions should be checked. The sale is by private treaty.

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Lees Hall Farm is a substantial rural site with a distinctive red-brick farmhouse, traditional farm buildings and around 3.15 acres of yard and grounds. The granted Class Q consent for nine dwellings gives the project a clear conversion angle, while a further application for barn conversions and up to five new-build homes is awaiting determination. The farmhouse is described as needing modernisation, though the photos show no interiors, so the scale of that work is hard to judge.

The main drawback is the asking price: £1.5 million is about £469 per sq ft, compared with a local average of £306, making this a dear proposition on the supplied price comparison. The strong site and planning fundamentals are balanced by weak value and limited renovation-economics data, resulting in a low-opportunity E grade overall.

Key opportunities

  • Use the granted Class Q approval as the basis for a substantial conversion project across nine dwellings.
  • Explore the further application for barn conversions and up to five new-build homes, noting that it is still awaiting determination.
  • Modernise the listed red-brick farmhouse and make the most of the traditional agricultural character and extensive rural site.

Key risks

  • The farmhouse is listed, so renovation and any changes will need to account for its heritage status.
  • The asking price is dear against the local £/sq ft benchmark, and the available information does not establish the renovation economics.
