Welcome to Babington Farm, a unique development opportunity and a stunning Grade II listed detached farmhouse that exudes character and sympathetic modern luxuries. Within Babington’s sizeable 1.8 acre plot are five barns, two of which have planning granted in perpetuity and works started for conversion into two and three bedroomed homes.
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 three gated driveways, which add an element of flexibility once the barns are developed, the property is situated within the quaint hamlet of Dethick.
The main three bedroomed farmhouse offers generously proportioned living areas and incorporates three wonderful reception rooms, a dining kitchen showcasing an impressive vaulted ceiling, three double bedrooms with an en-suite to the master bedroom and a contemporary family bathroom. A landscaped formal garden and patio to the front of the farmhouse provide a pleasant spot to relax outdoors. The garden also has an advantageous south-westerly facing aspect, as well as a view of Dethick Church, which can be seen from almost every room in the house.
A large gravelled courtyard allows off-road parking for several vehicles and serves as the central point for access to the farmhouse, the garage, the two barns set for conversion and the substantial grain store. Two further barns, including a two-storey building, offer potential for additional development (subject to planning). 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.
The farmhouse has the benefit of air source heating, under floor heating to the ground floor and an EPC rating of C. 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.
