Situated on the land is a former stone quarry and lead mine, now a haven for local flora and fauna and interspersed with self-seeded deciduous trees. In the northern corner there is a hill at the centre of which is an old mine shaft. From the land looking out, there are panoramic vistas of Derbyshire countryside views framed by the woodland openings. The sale of this land is expected to appeal to a broad range of purchasers including those seeking a parcel of amenity land for their enjoyment and a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday modern life. Additionally, those with wildlife interests and investors seeking a plot of land left untouched for decades.

Sellers Remarks - Brought to preserve by its current owner, over 36 years ago, this little piece of Derbyshire has remained untouched for decades.

Once within the fields boundary’s, you start to understand why.

Bordered by rolling Derbyshire countryside and surrounded by stone walls, time stands still.

Located quietly on the doorstep of the villages of Middleton & Youlgrave, it has both Bakewell & Hartington just a ten minute ride away. A unique plot that stands proudly.

Historic Industrial heritage from pervious quarry generations faded - time has allowed nature to claim back what was always hers.

Flora & fauna embedded over the last 200 yrs this setting is a complete escape from the modern world, needing parking and a sympathetic pathway calved through the brambles you’ll find yourself captivated with country views, fresh air, adjacent farm animals & bird song for company.

This is a rare opportunity to buy something really special, switch off within and enjoy.

Directions - Travelling from Buxton, proceed out of Buxton on the A515 Ashbourne Road and upon reaching the settlement of Newhaven, bear left on to the A5012 and then turn immediately left onto Friden Road, follow this road for approximately 2 miles and the land will be seen on the left hand side with the entrance gateway is as identified by a Whittaker and Biggs ‘for sale’ board.
