Alfreton, Derbyshire

Nestled on the edge of a Derbyshire village lies The Barn, a former agricultural building benefitting from a planning approval for a residential change of use.



The Barn provides a perfect opportunity to create a residential smallholding and will be of interest to many including those with equine interests.

Situation
The Barn is situated to the north of the small village of Hilcote in the county of Derbyshire. Hilcote is surround by the villages of South Normanton, Blackwell, Old Blackwell and Huthwaite. The town of Alfreton is under 4 miles from the property and provides a large range of services including a diverse range of shops, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets.
The area is well-placed for commuting with the nearby A38 offering links to Mansfield and Derby, as well as to the M1 motorway providing further connections to the north and south of the country. Alfreton and Sutton Parkway railway stations are 3.6 and 4.0 miles away respectively and East Midlands Airport can be reached in around 30 minutes.

Description
Planning was approved by Bolsover District Council on 27th March 2023 under application 23/00042/DETA2R for the conversion of a former poultry building into a dwellinghouse. A variation of this condition (24-00325-VAR) was approved on the 27th August 2024.
The approved development will provide over 4,000 sq ft of floor area, with the layout briefly summarised as:
Ground floor – porch, entrance hall, open plan kitchen, living and dining area, utility, plant, storage and w.c., along with a large agricultural store.
First floor – large triple aspect living room, master bedroom with dressing room and en suite, two double bedrooms also with dressing rooms and en suites, a fourth double bedroom, bathroom and study.
Access will be via a private driveway off New Lane with generous off road parking.
The building is positioned to the south west corner of the plot which extends as a whole to 2.84 acres or thereabouts, with the adjoining paddock down to pasture.
The Barn offers purchasers an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke home in a semi-rural position. With far-reaching views, the property will especially be of interest to those searching for a live/work space, as well as those with equine interests looking to take advantage not only of the onsite grazing, but the exceptional hacking in the area with both the Blackwell Trail and Five Pits Trail close by.
