42-acre plot of countryside and a quarry up for sale on Peak District border

A large patch of countryside is up for sale on the edge of the Peak District[1]. Over 42 acres of land near Matlock has been listed on the market. With a price tag of GBP275,000, the site is accompanied by a seven-acre quarry and can be found south of Salters Lane, between Bonsall and Matlock.

The sizeable portion of land benefits from exceptional views of the nearby Peak District National Park[2] and excellent roadside access. The bulk of the 42 acres is made up of pasture land used by animals, as well as amenity land[3]. The former limestone and quartz quarry offers the opportunity for a range of alternative future uses, subject to necessary planning consents.

Poll: Where's the best Santa's grotto in Derbyshire?[4] In addition to the plot of countryside and quarry, there is a derelict building included in the sale. The building was historically used in conjunction with quarry operations.

The land is sold freehold. Due to the quarry, anyone interested in the purchase and would like to view the land is asked to contact estate agents Bagshaws. Love the Peak District as much as we do?
