Description
A derelict barn and surrounding plot in Bretby are offered as a residential conversion and extension opportunity. The proposed scheme is described as a four-bedroom home, with en-suite facilities to each bedroom, an entrance hall and guest cloakroom, open-plan living space, utility room, study, WC and plant and storage space. Planning reference DMPA/2026/0260 is provided; buyers should check the current planning status and approved documents independently.
The site extends to approximately two thirds of an acre and is intended to include off-road parking and an enclosed garden with an open aspect. It is accessed by a track off Mount Road in the hamlet of Bretby, close to countryside walks and Bretby Hall. Burton-upon-Trent provides shops, schools, a railway station and other services, with wider East Midlands centres and transport links also accessible.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial barn-conversion project rather than a finished home: the existing building is an unfinished, derelict shell, with exposed masonry, a basic roof structure and debris. The appeal is the scope to create a family home around the proposed scheme, set on a roughly two-thirds-acre plot with mature trees and an enclosed brick-walled area. The grounds could also be cleared and shaped into a more usable garden.
Key opportunities
- Convert and extend the existing barn into a bespoke family home, using the proposed scheme drawings as a starting point and verifying current consent and feasibility.
- Make use of the roughly two-thirds-acre plot, mature trees and enclosed brick-walled area to create a landscaped setting around the home.
- Clear and manage the overgrown grounds to better connect the proposed rear extension and enclosed garden with the open aspect.
Key risks
- The unfinished shell, debris and visible roof structure and masonry make this a full conversion programme, with substantial budget and programme demands compared with a cosmetic refresh; structural stability needs professional assessment.
