Mercaston Lane Cottage, Mercaston, Ashbourne

FOR SALE BY AUCTION POWERED BY SDL AUCTIONS

A short distance from Brailsford and the A52 within the favoured Golden Triangle, Mercaston Lane Cottage offers a prime opportunity to re-develop this derelict former Farm Cottage, or indeed seek planning consent for demolition and a new build on site – which lends itself to an ambitious approach to create a unique and appealing home, either traditional or contemporary in style. (Subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions).

Rural in nature and surrounded by farmland, the views are outstanding, whilst accessible to the A52 for 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, having 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.

Note:
– A first registration of Title would be required upon completion.
-Purchasers will be required to erect a stock proof fence along all boundaries within 6 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. The vendors would co-operate in seeking a diversion of this across their adjacent retained land by negotiation with the appropriate authorities.
-Drainage is to a septic tank.
Tenure: Freehold (purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the tenure via their legal representative).
Services: Mains water and electricity are believed to be connected to the property but purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to their suitability.
