Roston Hall Farm offers a substantial redevelopment opportunity in a highly desirable Derbyshire Dales village. Approximately 7,500 sq ft of traditional and modern agricultural buildings sit on about 0.7 acre, with long road frontage, high‑ceiling brick barns and a Dutch barn — well suited to conversion into multiple residential units or a single large estate, subject to consents. A June 2023 letter from Derbyshire Dales District Council gives a positive indication for barn conversion, strengthening development potential.
The plot includes valuable on‑site features: three‑phase electricity to the farm buildings, lofted brick barns, a large garden with former tennis lawn and road frontage that may suit an infill building plot (planning required). The farmhouse (sold separately as Lot 1) is spacious and characterful, offering scope for comprehensive refurbishment or subdivision; it currently extends to about 3,700 sq ft internal, excluding attics.
Buyers should note clear practical constraints: the property needs substantial renovation, with private water supply arrangements, private drainage likely requiring replacement, and separate new electrical supply needed if the farmhouse is purchased alone. No formal planning permissions have been granted — only an encouraging council letter — so prospective purchasers must undertake their own due diligence with planning and building control.
For an investor or developer seeking countryside conversion prospects close to Ashbourne and the Peak District gateway, Roston Hall Farm presents a rare, large‑scale canvas with immediate rural appeal and demonstrable potential. Those wanting a finished home should be prepared for major works and service upgrades before occupation.
