Property Description

The barn, which was formerly part of the Chatsworth Estate, stands on the outskirts of Wetton, within a picturesque village in Peak District National Park, surrounded by the striking landscapes of the Manifold Valley. Wetton offers all the charm expected of a White Peak village, with stone cottages along winding lanes, a welcoming country pub, a church, and breath-taking views. Outdoor lovers are well-catered for, with famous beauty spots such as the River Manifold, Thors Cave, Wolfscote Dale, and Dovedale all nearby. The village also features a hall with tea rooms, while everyday needs are served by nearby villages with local stores. For a broader range of services, the market towns of Ashbourne and Leek are about 10 miles away, and the cities of Derby and Stoke-on-Trent are within 25 miles. The area is a hub for outdoor pursuits - walking, cycling, horse riding, climbing, and sailing at Carsington Water are all within easy reach. Local attractions include Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, Tissington Hall, Peak Wildlife Park, and Alton Towers. Schooling options include primary schools at Ilam and Warslow, with secondary education in Leek, plus several respected independent schools such as Repton School, Denstone College, and Abbotsholme School in Uttoxeter. The barn is an attractive detached stone barn, believed to date back before 1809, with full planning permission for conversion into a three-bedroom residence. The proposed accommodation extends over two floors, offering a reception hall, sitting room, breakfast kitchen, study, and three bedrooms (one with en-suite). There is space for parking and the opportunity to create landscaped gardens to fully enjoy the peaceful countryside setting. Please note that the farmer has a right of way across the driveway into the adjoining field. The property cannot be utilised as a holiday let.
