Broom Vale Farm is a rare 38.29-acre smallholding in a secluded Peak District location, centred on a traditional stone farmhouse and a collection of substantial barns and modern agricultural sheds. The farmhouse offers family-sized accommodation across two floors but requires full internal modernisation — a blank canvas for restoration, extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning). The land is ring-fenced, laid to permanent pasture and divided into paddocks with dry stone walls, suitable for livestock, horses or continued agricultural use.
The range of outbuildings includes two sizeable stone barns (one adjoining the farmhouse) and concrete-frame agricultural sheds that present strong conversion potential for ancillary accommodation, equestrian facilities or income-generating uses, all dependent on obtaining planning consent. Services are basic: mains electricity, spring water supply and private drainage via a septic tank. Heating is by room heaters and dual fuel (mineral and wood).
Practical drawbacks are material and should be factored into purchase costs: the farmhouse and several buildings need significant repair and modernisation; walls are likely uninsulated; broadband is slow and mobile signal is limited; and mineral rights are excluded. The property will be sold at public auction with a 10% deposit on exchange and buyer’s fees — purchasers must be prepared for a legally binding contract and 28-day completion timetable.
For buyers seeking a countryside project with strong rural privacy, conversion opportunity and immediate agricultural utility, this smallholding offers substantial scope. It is particularly well suited to those with farming, equestrian or development experience who can manage a renovation programme and navigate planning within the Peak District National Park.
