***rare development opportunity STP***

A unique and rare opportunity to acquire a charming and extended four bedroomed detached property, located on a beautiful mature plot extending to 0.25 acres or thereabouts with lapsed outline planning permission for a pair semi detached dwellings, nestled in the heart of Darley Dale.

The lapsed planning reference number under 17/00064/out was passed by Derbyshire Dales District Council in 2017 and illustrates a scheme for the erection of a pair of semi detached dwellings. In our opinion an alternative may well be considered subject to planning.

The charming four bedroomed cottage requires a scheme of upgrading and offers well proportioned living accommodation with vacant possession and in brief comprises:- an impressive reception hallway, two further reception rooms, fitted kitchen and utility room. To the first floor landing there are four bedrooms and bathroom with separate wc. In our opinion there is scope to reconfigure the first floor layout, subject to building regulations.

Undoubtably the saleable feature is plot with the wider than average frontage complimented by a stone built surround wall with driveway providing ample car space. The grounds have been meticulously kept and offer range of herbaceous beds with a range of specimen trees.

The sale provides a genuine opportunity for a discerning purchaser looking to acquire a delightful family home or for an investor/developer to create an additional dwelling (stp), enjoying a stunning village close close to Chatsworth and the historic market town of Matlock.
