5 bed detached house for sale

Dethick Lane, Matlock, Dethick DE4

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.
