Summary - 65 OAKERTHORPE ROAD, BOLEHILL DE4 4GP
1 bed 1 bath Cottage
One-bedroom cottage on 1.28 acres with views and renovation potential, sold at auction..
One-bedroom stone cottage requiring full modernisation
A compact, characterful stone cottage set in approximately 1.28 acres of gardens, paddock and woodland. The cottage retains rustic features—exposed beams, brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove—but the accommodation is small and requires comprehensive modernisation throughout. New windows, doors and some flooring have been installed recently, offering a partial head-start for renovation.
The generous plot and stone-built outbuilding are the standout assets. Adjoining paddocks and woodland suit small-scale grazing or private amenity land and offer far-reaching Derbyshire countryside views. A lapsed planning permission previously existed to extend the cottage, so there is realistic potential to increase living space subject to securing fresh consents.
Practical points are straightforward: freehold tenure, mains services, off-street parking and low flood risk. The property will be sold by public auction (10% deposit on fall of the hammer; buyer’s fees apply) so purchasers should come prepared to proceed under auction conditions. EPC rating F and the cottage’s age mean buyers should budget for upgrading heating, insulation and internal finishes.
This is best suited to someone seeking a rural project with substantial land — a downsizer wanting space and views, a buyer wanting a hobby smallholding, or someone prepared to invest in renovation and planning to create a larger, characterful home.
