Lot C at Moor Farm is a substantial, ring‑fenced block of grassland measuring approximately 148.23 acres (59.99 ha), offered with a Guide Price of £900,000. The majority of the land lies flat to gently sloping, is well suited to grazing and mowing, and is internally divided by traditional dry stone walls and post-and-wire fencing. Mains water is available to the block (supplied via Lot A; purchasers must arrange sub‑metering). Broadband speeds are reported fast, though mobile signal is absent.
This holding will suit agricultural and equestrian uses or long‑term land investment, and benefits from an elevated position with far‑reaching Derbyshire views and easy access to local villages and the Peak District. There are public footpaths crossing the land and access to Lot C is via a right‑of‑way through Lot A (shown on the plan). The lot is sold freehold and will be offered at auction; a 10% deposit and buyer’s premium apply on the fall of the hammer.
Important constraints are disclosed: part of Lot C contains scheduled monuments (former lead‑mining features and a platformed bowl barrow) and an SSSI nearby (Via Gellia Woodlands). Former lead mines lie beneath parts of the land. Sporting and mineral rights are excluded from the sale; timber rights are understood to be included as they exist. Lots A, B and C are subject to a tenant until 24 March 2025, after which vacant possession will be available.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a large, contiguous grazing block in a sought‑after rural location. Buyers should factor in scheduled monument protections, sub‑metering for services, responsibility for stockproof boundary erection, and the tenant timetable when assessing use and timing.
