Rare 16-acre opportunity for smallholding or redevelopment near Peak District amenities.
Approximately 16.27 acres of land on Bakewell’s edge
A substantial 16.27-acre block on the edge of Bakewell, offered freehold with vacant possession. The site includes a traditional stone outbuilding and a larger timber/corrugated steel barn, both in poor repair and requiring substantial refurbishment or replacement. Roadside access is good with two gated entrances and the northern boundary adjoining the Monsal Trail.
This parcel will suit buyers with smallholding, equestrian, or development ambitions (subject to planning and Peak District National Park restrictions). Mains water and electricity are understood to be connected; timber, sporting and mineral rights are included as they exist. The setting delivers attractive rural views, mature woodland backdrop and immediate access to Bakewell’s amenities, schools and walking routes.
Important practical considerations: the buildings are derelict and need significant work or demolition. Any change of use, conversion or development will require local authority consent within a National Park, which can be more restrictive. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal only average, so the site is best suited to buyers not reliant on high-speed connectivity.
Offered by private treaty with a guide price of £300,000–£400,000, this is a rare opportunity to secure a large, accessible parcel on the fringes of a highly desirable market town. Investors, smallholders or those seeking a countryside project should factor in renovation costs, planning constraints and infrastructure upgrades when assessing value.
