A farmhouse in Bradfield is set to go under the hammer next month, offering a rare chance to acquire a substantial piece of land with buildings in need of modernisation.

Broom Vale Farm, located in the village of Dungworth on the edge of the Peak District National Park, comes with a stone-built farmhouse, a collection of agricultural buildings, and just over 38 acres of pastureland.

The guide price for this Bradfield farmhouse is £650,000 and we explore what it offers and how you can buy the house on Plotfinder.

The two-storey stone farmhouse currently provides a living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The property requires full renovation but offers scope for extension (subject to planning consent). Externally, there is a walled garden and patio area.

The farmhouse is connected to mains electricity, has a spring water supply, and drainage is via a septic tank.

Buildings and land with range of uses

The farmyard contains a mixture of traditional and more modern agricultural buildings. These include:

A two-storey stone barn adjoining the farmhouse
A second stone barn opposite, with an attached block-built structure
A concrete frame agricultural building with lean-to
A number of smaller outbuildings

Some require repair but could serve agricultural, equestrian, or smallholder use. Conversion opportunities are also possible, subject to planning.

The land extends to 38.29 acres, all in a ring fence around the yard. It is divided into multiple paddocks with dry stone walls and is currently laid to permanent pasture, suitable for mowing or grazing.

The agents say: "Although the property requires modernisation, the farmhouse offers a ‘blank canvas’ with much space to extend into the adjoining outbuilding (subject to the necessary planning consents)."

Auction details and availability

Broom Vale Farm will be sold by public auction at 3pm on Monday 22nd September 2025 at the Agricultural Business Centre, Bakewell, Derbyshire.

Further information is available now on Plotfinder, where prospective buyers can explore the full particulars and arrange viewings.

The property is being sold freehold with vacant possession. Sporting and timber rights are included, though mineral rights are excluded.
