A traditional two storey barn with planning permission for conversion to a three bedroom dwelling, set in approx. Two acres and ideal for smallholding or equestrian use, in a stunning rural setting.

An exciting opportunity to acquire a handsome, two-storey stone barn in a lovely countryside position, offered with planning permission to create an exceptional three-bedroom home. With just under two acres of adjoining grazing land and far-reaching views, Fawfield Barn lends itself perfectly to buyers seeking a lifestyle-led project, whether for equestrian interests, a smallholding, or simply space and privacy in one of the Peak District’s most admired settings.

Longnor is a sought-after Peak District village with a strong local community and everyday essentials close at hand, including a village shop, public house, church and primary school. Beyond the village, the surrounding landscape offers a superb network of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes, ideal for those who want immediate access to the outdoors.

The popular market towns of Bakewell, Buxton and Leek are all within a short drive, providing an excellent range of shops, schools, supermarkets and medical facilities. Road links via the B5053 offer straightforward access towards Macclesfield, Sheffield, Derby and Manchester, while rail connections make London readily accessible.

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)
