Sykehouse Lane, Dungworth, Bradfield, Sheffield

Nestled on the edge of the Peak District National Park, Sykehouse Farm presents an exciting development opportunity. With planning permission granted across multiple applications for 11 barn conversions, this 1 acre site offers fantastic scope to bring an appealing residential scheme to life.

Full planning permissions and permitted development rights under Class Q enable the site to be transformed into 13 units, three of which are being retained by the current owners (Barn 1, Barn 3B and Barn 5 on the site plan). The scheme has been expertly designed by Nordbarn, an architectural practice specialising in barn conversions and farm diversification projects. Each property combines modern necessities with sympathetic materials that ensure cohesiveness with the former dairy farm and its surroundings. The proposed dwellings comprise a mixture of four, three and two bedroomed homes, each with open plan living spaces.

Sykehouse Farm occupies an elevated position, which affords the site and proposed homes panoramic countryside views. The development will have two entry points, which will serve the converted barns and existing farmhouse at the front of the site. Within a shared courtyard, each of the plots will have allocated parking spaces.

Bradfield is conveniently situated to offer a harmonious blend of country and city life, with everything that the Peak District has to offer within easy reach. From scenic nearby trails around Damflask and Agden Reservoirs, to visiting some of the National Parks most popular attractions, such as Hathersage, Chatsworth House, Ladybower Reservoir, Winnats Pass and Mam Tor. The A57 provides road links to Sheffield and Manchester and there is convenient access to the M1 for journeys to major cities. Locally, there are a range of public and independent schools, alongside two universities within Sheffield city centre. Bamford train station is nearby, providing rail links to Sheffield, Manchester Piccadilly and the following Peak District locations: Hathersage, Grindleford, Hope and Edale.
