Summary - SOUTH LODGE WINDLEY BELPER DE56 2LP
1 bed 1 bath Land
1.25-acre private plot with full planning for a striking elevated contemporary home.
Full planning permission for architect-designed ‘floating’ home
This rare, 1.25-acre building plot in Windley has full planning permission for an architect-designed contemporary home raised on stilts — a striking “floating” concept that maximises light and countryside views. The approved design emphasises large glazing, open-plan living and eco-conscious features, offering a turnkey opportunity for a self-builder or developer seeking a standout new home in a desirable rural setting.
Set in a peaceful hamlet on the edge of the Derbyshire Dales, the plot offers privacy and immediate access to Duffield, Belper and good local schools. The site’s elevated design works with the sloping terrain to create panoramic vistas; the generous grounds are suitable for landscaping and creating private outdoor spaces around the house.
Buyers should factor in the site-specific requirements: the sloping plot and elevated/stilted structure will require specialist contractor experience and potentially higher construction costs. There is a recorded medium flood risk — appropriate surveys, drainage design and mitigation will be needed as part of build works.
Practical amenities are favourable for a rural location: fast broadband, low local crime, freehold tenure and a generally affluent area profile. This plot is best suited to a buyer seeking a distinctive, modern dwelling and prepared to manage the technical build elements and site-specific planning conditions.
