Stocksmoor Farm is a substantial four-bedroom farmhouse set in approximately 2.41 acres of paddocks and gardens, offering genuine smallholding and equestrian potential close to Old Tupton. The house dates from 1704 and retains period character, with sizeable reception rooms, a kitchen with Aga and a range of flexible outbuildings that could suit livestock, storage or conversion (subject to planning).
This property is best for buyers seeking a renovation project or an income/land-based opportunity. The main farmhouse requires internal modernisation throughout and several outbuildings need basic repairs; one derelict brick building has an asbestos roof and will need careful remedial work or removal. Services include mains gas heating and electricity, but drainage is via a cess pit and broadband speeds may be slow in this rural location.
Practical advantages include off-street parking, excellent mobile signal, and easy road links to Chesterfield, Matlock and the Peak District. The plot’s size and yard arrangement suit those wanting space for horses, small-scale farming or to create ancillary accommodation (subject to consents). Note the property will be sold at auction and council tax is in a higher band, so buyers should plan for renovation costs, potential planning processes and the auction purchase route.
