Church Farm presents a significant redevelopment prospect (subject to planning permission), encompassing a 3.5-acre site with a five-bedroom farmhouse offering picturesque views, and nearly 13,000 square feet of additional buildings.
Accommodation Summary
While the main dwelling requires refurbishment, the site's overall potential (contingent upon obtaining necessary planning approvals) is the property's key attraction, complemented by its breathtaking scenery.
The farmhouse and outbuildings are situated on a 3.5-acre plot, with the option to acquire two additional parcels of land, measuring 5.2 and 5.6 acres respectively, through separate negotiation.
The Farmhouse
Although requiring renovation, the farmhouse provides over 2,300 square feet of living space over two floors. This includes two living rooms, a sizable pantry, and a breakfast kitchen at ground floor level, with five bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor.
Ample paved parking is located on the northern side, while the garden, primarily a lawn, faces the front, offering unobstructed south-westerly views.
Barns & Outbuildings
The largest structure is a substantial stone barn at the rear of the farmhouse, spanning 4,600 square feet across two levels. This barn features high ceilings on both floors, historical architectural elements, and exposed oak king truss beams on the first floor. A connected former grain store adds another 1,000 square feet.
A separate workshop, formerly a milking parlor built in 1947, provides nearly 2,000 square feet on a single level. This connects to an old dairy and a series of livestock and cart sheds.
A 74ft x 27ft Dutch barn completes the outbuildings, all of which offer substantial redevelopment possibilities, subject to planning approval.
Location
Dethick is a peaceful hamlet, four miles southeast of Matlock, named after a family with roots tracing back to the 13th century. Matlock provides a range of amenities, including a Sainsbury's supermarket, M&S food hall, pharmacies, and dining options. Chesterfield (11 miles) offers rail connections to London (1 hour 47 minutes), and the A6 road links to the A610, A38, and M1, facilitating regional travel. The area is ideal for exploring the Peak District National Park. The nearby Lea Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2012) is one mile away, with other schools available in the vicinity.
