Syke House Lane, Bradfield, Sheffield

A former dairy farm with approval for 11 thoughtfully designed country homes, overlooking the stunning Peak District National Park.


Syke House Farm is located to the west of Sheffield, positioned within touching distance of the stunning Peak District National Park. This former dairy farm offers a unique development opportunity, comprising a mix of traditional and modern farm buildings across the site which extends to about 1.02 acres in total. The property enjoys an elevated position, providing attractive views of the surrounding countryside.

The development (shaded red on the sale plan) benefits from a combination of full planning permission and permitted development rights under Class Q. Planning is in place for a total of 13 units, of which two are being retained by the sellers (Barn 3b and 5 on the sale plan). The 11 remaining have a Gross Internal Area of over 1,200 sqm offering scope for high-quality conversions in a desirable rural setting.

Some demolition works have already been completed with all relevant planning documents available from the local authority’s planning portal. The planning applications and architectural design have been undertaken by Nordbarn Ltd, specialists in barn conversions and farm diversification projects, based in Sheffield. Their expertise has resulted in a thoughtfully designed scheme that respects the character of the site while delivering modern living spaces.

The land shaded yellow and blue on the sale plan is being retained by the vendor.
