Description
A detached property in a secluded position on Newfield Lane, within the Dore Moor Estate, is offered with an adjacent parcel of land. The listing describes an existing building with planning permission for conversion into a two-storey, five-bedroom home of approximately 237 sq m. It also states that work began within three years of the permission being granted. Plans and further information are available from Staves Estate Agents in Dore.
The site is set back from the road and surrounded by open fields, with the additional land offering scope for a larger garden. The listing also notes permission for a detached double garage on that land. Any further development would require the necessary permissions and consents, and purchasers should verify the current status and details of all permissions. Dore is described as having local amenities, access to the Peak District National Park and nearby schools.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £800,000, the asking price is 14.7% below the local average on a £/sqf basis, making the entry price a clear strength. The bigger draw is the chance to create a substantial five-bedroom home in a secluded Dore setting, with adjacent land and plans for a double garage; the listing says conversion permission was granted and work started within three years, but buyers should verify the permission’s current status and what has been implemented.
This is a heavy, largely unassessed project: dense overgrowth obscures the building, and moss or plant growth covers much of the visible roof, so its condition needs close inspection. The score is tempered by limited evidence on renovation economics and the property’s underlying fabric, rather than by the below-average asking price.
Key opportunities
- Create the proposed two-storey, five-bedroom home of approximately 237 sq m, subject to verifying the planning permission and its implementation.
- Shape the adjacent parcel into a sizeable garden and explore the permitted detached double garage.
- Acquire at an asking price below the local £/sqf average, with privacy and an open-field outlook as part of the setting.
Key risks
- The building is heavily obscured and its interior and underlying fabric cannot be assessed; extensive moss or plant growth also prevents a proper view of the roof covering and structure.
- Overgrown grounds and a heavy conversion programme mean planning for substantial clearance, investigation and a full building project rather than a cosmetic refresh.
