An excellent opportunity to purchase a detached stone-built Grade ll listed workshop building, originally built as a cheese factory, which has planning permission for conversion into two dwellings within the Peak District National Park. The building is set within a spacious plot measuring approximately half an acre, with views onto the surrounding countryside. The building was built in 1875, originally as a cheese factory and is two storeys and constructed from limestone with gritstone dressing and quoins under a slate roof, has a wonderful outlook to the South West overlooking the countryside and also to the North towards surrounding hillside. The existing building is constructed from limestone with a slate roof.

Description Cont'd
Currently the building is internally separated into the following: Entrance Hallway, a ground floor Show Room, stairs rising to a first floor Showroom, a large ground floor Workshop, a further Store Room, an Office and a WC. Rising to the first floor is a further large Workshop.

Planning
Planning consent was granted by the Peak District National Park (Ref: NP/DDD/1220/1155) on the 4th June 2021 for the ‘Alteration to existing listed building and change of use to form two dwellings. Full details of the application can be found of the Peak District National Park website using the above reference number

Proposed Layout
The proposed conversion will split the existing building into two dwellings to form a pair of semi-detached properties. The proposed internal floorplans differ and will briefly comprise the following accommodation:

Dwelling One
On the ground floor, there will be a large Entrance Hall with a study area, downstairs toilet and Cloakroom, a large Living Room with dual aspect window and an external entrance door and Dining Kitchen. On the first floor, there are three double Bedrooms, the master having an En-suite bathroom and two remaining bedrooms having a jack and jill style bathroom.

Dwelling Two
On the ground floor, there will be an entrance Hallway leading to three double bedrooms, the master having an En-suite bathroom and a further family bathroom. Rising to the first floor, will be an open Living Dining Kitchen making the most of the views and space, together with a separate WC.

Externally
Externally, there are two vehicle entrances to the site, the first leading from the B5056 opposite the Holly Bush Inn and the second from the side road Grange Dale. The proposed conversion will use the main entrance over the existing bridge to lead to a parking area as shared access with allocated parking spaces for three vehicles per dwelling but with ample room for further parking.
The dwellings will have gardens to the rear with separate pedestrian bridges over the stream to the gardens and both have a small a garden to the sides.

Further Workshop Site
The site to the rear of the building, shown edged in blue on the plan included within the property, was granted planning permission for the erection of a workshop under ref: NP/WED/388/142. The planning permission was implemented with the completion of the concrete base and foundations. Therefore, this site offers a further opportunity to erect the new building and be used as a workshop.
