Summary - SOUTH LODGE WINDLEY BELPER DE56 2LP
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Period charm with approved contemporary build plot and flexible dual-living potential.
Approximately two acres of combined gardens and building plot
Set in about two acres of landscaped grounds, South Lodge is a substantial five-bedroom period detached home that combines original character with a rare development opportunity. The existing house retains features such as herringbone and parquet floors, bay windows, feature fireplaces and generous reception rooms, while practical additions include a refitted kitchen, a refitted family bathroom and two garages.
Crucially the sale includes an adjoining building plot with full planning permission for an architect-designed contemporary ‘floating’ house raised on stilts. That approved consent creates flexible options: keep the whole site as a family compound, create guest or staff accommodation, or develop the plot as a holiday let or investment property. The plot and house are offered together or separately, giving buyers multiple routes to unlock value.
Practical facts to note: heating is oil-fired to radiators, the property’s stone walls are likely uninsulated and council tax is described as quite expensive. There is a medium flood risk for the area, and the site is a hamlet/isolated setting with average mobile signal. Access to Derby, Belper, Duffield and the Peak District is straightforward, making this a quiet rural home with good commuter and leisure links.
This package will suit buyers looking for a period family home with significant outdoor space and clear scope for development, or investors/developers seeking a ready-permitted design in a sought-after Derbyshire location. The character of the existing lodge and the bold contemporary consent together offer immediate lifestyle use with future upside through sensitively executed enhancement or separate sale of the plot.
