4 Bedroom Detached House

Welcome to Babington Farm, a unique development opportunity that exudes character and countryside charm. Within Babington’s sizeable plot are three barns, one of which has planning granted in perpetuity and works started for conversion into a four bedroomed home.

The individual nature of Babington Farm lends itself to numerous possibilities, from housing a large family or accommodating multi-generational living, to holiday rental potential. The beautiful surroundings present a truly special place to retreat in the countryside. Approachable by two gated driveways, which add an element of flexibility once the barns are developed, the property is situated within the quaint hamlet of Dethick.

To one side of the plot is an expanse of lawned garden that runs adjacent to Dethick Lane and planning permission has been granted for the erection of a detached garage.

There are also three main water supplies and two private spring water supplies, making future subdivision possible.

Babington Farm boasts the perfect blend of rural life and ease of accessibility to conveniences. It is ideally located close to many nearby villages such as Lea, Holloway, Cromford and Crich. Matlock is also a short drive away and the location is good for commuters due to rail journeys being easily accessible from Derby, Chesterfield and Cromford. The Peak District National Park is reachable within a brief journey and also Junction 29 of the M1 for road links to major cities.

Outbuildings: Barn 2, barn 4, barn 5 and planning granted for a double garage.
