LAND WITH RURAL DERBYSHIRE SETTING. PLANNING PERMISSION GRANTED. FAR-REACHING COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS.
WHAT3WORDS - dignity.dives.fortress
An exciting opportunity to acquire a parcel of land in an attractive rural setting at Back Lane, Darley Moor, enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.
The site occupies an elevated position within an established rural setting, with the surrounding landscape characterised by open fields, mature woodland and rolling countryside. The location offers an attractive opportunity for those looking to create a rural home in a picturesque Derbyshire setting.
Planning permission has been granted by Derbyshire Dales District Council under application reference 23/01188/FUL for the conversion of an existing barn to a dwellinghouse. The permission was granted on 13 November 2024, providing a purchaser with the opportunity to progress an approved residential conversion scheme.
The site is accessed via Back Lane, a non-classified highway which also carries Public Right of Way BOAT 66, Darley Dale. The lane has recently been repaired by the council, although it remains narrow.
There is an existing borehole at the property, providing a water supply.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a small fenced area, retained by the seller to provide access to a separate borehole which does not form part of the sale.. (please see picture 2)
This is an attractive opportunity for developers or those seeking a residential project in a peaceful countryside location, with the benefit of planning permission already in place.
Additional note: Any purchaser should make their own enquiries regarding access, the planning permission and all associated requirements. Planning Reference: 23/01188/FUL.
Tenure: See Legal Pack
Administration Fee: £4200 inc VAT payable on exchange of contracts.
Disbursements: Please see the legal pack for any disbursements listed that may become payable by the purchaser on completion.
