This is 3 Darfield Cottages, which is a typical example of a two bedroom property on the Estate. The property is Grade 2 listed which means that no alterations can be made to the property without Listed Building consent being obtained from the Peak District National Park.
Conversion of Redundant Buildings
There are a number of redundant agricultural buildings on the Estate that it may be possible to convert to a number of different uses.
On the Estate similar conversions have been undertaken for example Carr Barn. Previously the barn was redundant, as it no longer met the needs of modern agriculture. The Estate therefore considered the various options available and planning permission was obtained through lengthy discussions with the Peak District National Park for the conversation of the property to a workshop
