Property Description

A short distance from Brailsford and the A52 within the favoured Golden Triangle, this derelict former Farm Cottage offers a potential redevelopment opportunity(subject to obtaining planning permissions) that is rural in nature and surrounded by farmland. The property has easy access to the A52, Derby, Ashbourne and connections to the A50, M1, and M6 making this a very commutable location. The property lies within the jurisdiction of Derbyshire Dales District Council and all planning enquiries should be directed to their planning department. The existing cottage offers a sizeable footprint, comprising two reception rooms, a kitchen, pantry, bathroom, two bedrooms to the first floor, plus an adjacent traditional barn range and brick outhouse. The property requires a complete scheme of modernisation and access is strictly by prior appointment due to health and safety considerations. Mains water and electricity are believed to be connected to the property but potential bidders should make their own enquiries in regards to this. Up to 3.9acres of adjacent land is available for purchase or rent by negotiation with the owners.

Note:

The extent of the land offered for sale is shown in the TP1 (transfer of part) plan in the legal pack. Registration of the TP1 will be required upon completion. Purchasers will be required to erect a stock proof fence along the eastern boundary within six months of completion. A right of way will be granted over the access drive from Mercaston Lane, in favour of the cottage. A public footpath traverses the site from the south-east towards Mercaston Lane. We have been advise that the vendors would facilitate a diversion of this across their adjacent retained land by negotiation with the appropriate authorities. Drainage is to a septic tank. The extent of the land offered for sale is shown in the TP1 (transfer of part) plan in the legal pack. A copy is also included in our marketing.


Note:

Please be advised that the auctioneers have not personally inspected the property. Prospective buyers are advised to make a viewing enquiry and any other necessary independent enquiries before placing their bid, as this will be binding.
