Detached house for sale in Watercress Lane, Danesmoor, Chesterfield S45

Development opportunity - quarter of an acre site with detached stone built house, numerous outbuildings and menage - property tour video available

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this unique property, which offers scope for development or could suit someone wanting their own smallholding or a place to run their business from.

This 0.26 acre plot, which is set back at the end of a no through road, includes a generous stone built house, which was originally built as two separate cottages, and could easily be returned to its original layout. There are also a range of outbuildings and a large yard/menage, offering scope to possibly develop or allow a range of uses (all subject to obtaining the necessary consents and approvals).

Development Potential

A desktop study has been carried out by Charlotte Stainton (Chartered Planning Consultant) the details of which will be made available to any interested parties. This study concluded that whilst certain planning conditions would have to be satisfied with any planning application, the site is situated within the settlement development limit for Clay Cross, and that, in principle, there is scope to possibly demolish the existing property and build a small number of dwellings, split/subdivide the existing house, convert outbuildings or build within the existing curtilage. Obviously any buyer wanting to develop the site will need to seek their own advice and discuss options with the planning authority prior to making an offer.

Previous Planning Consent

It is believed that planning permission was granted in 1986 and again in 1993 by North East Derbyshire District Council for a detached bungalow, although no drawings are available. These consents are now understood to have lapsed.
