Brook Street, Hartshorne

An Exceptional Residential Development Opportunity

A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive rural development site with planning consent for an exclusive residential scheme centred around a Grade II Listed farmhouse and traditional outbuildings, plus a new contemporary build home.

Spring Farm presents a compelling opportunity to deliver a high-quality development that blends heritage restoration with carefully considered design, all within an attractive countryside setting in South Derbyshire.

The Opportunity
The site benefits from planning consent for the refurbishment and conversion of the existing Grade II Listed farmhouse and outbuildings to create three residential dwellings.
The approved scheme allows for:
- Sensitive restoration of the principal listed farmhouse
- Conversion of traditional outbuildings
- Demolition and rebuilding of certain existing walls as approved
- Formation of a cohesive courtyard-style development
- Plot 1 - Barn Conversion: Approx. 2,152 sq ft
- Plot 2 - Farmhouse & Detached Annexe: Approx. 4,131 sq ft
- Plot 3 - New Build Dwelling: Approx. 2,997 sq ft

Planning Permission
Planning permission has been granted by South Derbyshire District Council under:
Ref. No. DMPA/2025/0418

A Rare Heritage-Led Development Opportunity
