Roston Hall offers a rare redevelopment opportunity in a highly desirable Derbyshire village. The six-bedroom farmhouse, circa 3,700 sq ft, sits in about one acre and adjoins working farmland, delivering south-facing rural views across a tree-lined brook. A range of traditional brick and later modern farm buildings add scope for conversions or additional dwellings (Lot 2); Derbyshire Dales District Council gave a positive indication on building conversion in June 2023, though buyers should make formal enquiries.
The house retains period features—high ceilings, stone fireplaces and a galleried landing—yet requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout. Services are mixed: three-phase electricity serves the farmyard with an overhead house connection that will need replacement if lots are separated; water is currently from a private source with a pending application for mains connection; drainage is to a private tank likely needing renewal. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators with some open-stove provision; EPC is G.
For developers and investors the plot is particularly attractive. The grounds include a former grass tennis court and about 35m of road frontage which may suit infill building, subject to planning consent. The adjoining brick buildings provide significant square footage and modern framed structures offering conversion or redevelopment potential, creating multiple income or residential options.
Key negatives are clear and upfront: the property needs full renovation, drainage replacement, a new independent electrical supply if split, and the EPC rating is G. Those seeking a ready-to-move-in family home should expect substantial works; those prepared to invest in renovation will find a substantial period house with strong potential in a quiet, low-crime rural setting.
