Derelict farmhouse plus two 0.5-acre plots and planning permission..
Approx. 3 acres of land with uninterrupted countryside views
An exceptional countryside development opportunity: a derelict 12-bedroom farmhouse set within about 3 acres, offered with planning permissions for extension to the main house and two 0.5-acre detached building plots (Rutland County Council Ref: 2024/0816/FUL). The main farmhouse requires full renovation but benefits from approved alteration plans that increase scope for a large family home or conversion into multiple units subject to final consents.
The two serviced plots (outline permission) provide clear development potential for substantial detached houses, useful for resale, rental, or multigenerational occupation. Grounds include a versatile outbuilding and extensive private land with open views across arable fields — strong selling points for buyers seeking privacy and space in a rural setting.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the farmhouse is derelict and needs comprehensive refurbishment; current utility/service connections and exact legal site boundaries should be verified. The local area is an ageing rural community with above-average crime statistics and average broadband/mobile signal — factors that may influence end‑use and marketability.
This site will suit developers, investors or an ambitious owner-occupier prepared for a significant restoration and project-management commitment. With planning in place, the property offers immediate scope to add value, but realistic budgets for structural works, services and landscaping are essential before purchase.
