The Proposed Residence

Planning permission was granted in March 2024 by the Peak District National Park for the conversion of a traditional agricultural building to an open market dwelling. The approved scheme provides three double bedrooms at ground-floor level (one with en-suite), a family bathroom, and a first-floor open-plan kitchen/dining/living space designed to take full advantage of the glorious outlook.

Full details and planning drawings are available on request from the Agents, or on the planning portal for Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, under Planning Ref: Np/sm/11123/1314.

The barn is approached via its own entrance and driveway, with space to park several vehicles. The plans allow for a walled patio and lawned garden, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The adjoining paddock extends to just under two acres and is bounded by hedging and post and rail fencing, offering level to gently sloping grazing land, well-suited to equestrian or smallholding use.

Further land may be available by separate negotiation, and there may also be the option to acquire a steel-framed agricultural building, if required.

In all approx. 2 acres (About 0.8 Hectare)
