A rare 53.92-acre parcel on the edge of Wensley, combining productive grassland, a block of established woodland and the former Tearsall Quarry (approx. 16.74 acres). The site has two roadside access points, far-reaching Derwent Valley views and grazing-ready fields divided by dry stone walling and post-and-wire fencing.
The land lies within the Peak District National Park, so any change of use or built development will require planning consents from the local authority. The former quarry includes two exposed faces in the deep excavation; this offers character and potential but also requires careful consideration for safety, restoration or re-profiling works.
Practical detail: there are no known mains services to the site, a stream crosses the northern field, and a public footpath and bridleway traverse the land. The sale is by auction/subject to auction conditions, with a 10% deposit on the fall of the hammer and a buyer’s fee applicable—prospective purchasers should factor these into their budgets.
This holding will suit agricultural, horticultural or arboricultural interests, environmental scheme applicants, and investors seeking a countryside asset with capacity for management, diversification or habitat restoration. Note timber rights are understood to be included; sporting rights are excluded.
