A rare and versatile opportunity to acquire a freehold site of approximately 1.5 acres comprising established equestrian stables, extensive hard standing and grassland, with full planning permission granted by North East Derbyshire District Council for the change of use of the existing stables to a detached one bedroom holiday let accommodation.
An Exceptional Equestrian Holiday Let Opportunity
This is not just a planning permission — it is a ready made business concept in one of England’s most popular equestrian destinations.
Once converted, Trickett Brook Stables has the potential to operate as a premium ”bring your horse” equestrian holiday let — a rapidly growing and highly lucrative sector of the UK holiday market. Guests bring their own horses, stable them on site and ride out directly from the property into the stunning Derbyshire countryside and towards the Peak District National Park.
Equestrian holiday lets of this type command significantly higher nightly rates than standard holiday cottages — typically £150 to £300 per night depending on facilities and season — with strong occupancy rates driven by the growing demand from horse owners seeking quality accommodation where their horses are welcome.
The site is perfectly configured for this use:
- Existing stables providing immediate horse accommodation
- Large hard standing ideal for horse boxes, trailers and vehicle parking
- 1.5 acres of grassland for grazing and turnout
- Trickett Brook running along the boundary providing a picturesque natural water feature
- Direct access to Derbyshire bridleways and riding routes with the Peak District on the doorstep
There is currently a significant shortage of quality equestrian holiday accommodation in Derbyshire and the wider Peak District area — making this an outstanding opportunity for a buyer looking to create a premium lifestyle business with strong income potential.
The Planning Permission
Full planning permission has been granted for the conversion of the existing stables to a detached one bedroom holiday let with a private drainage system. The consent includes alterations to the existing structure — significantly reducing build risk and cost compared to a new build project.
With planning in place the buyer can move forward with confidence. The hard work has already been done.
Alternative Uses
The site also lends itself to a number of alternative uses subject to obtaining any necessary consents:
- Continuation as private equestrian facilities
- Standard holiday let without the equestrian element
- Equestrian livery or DIY livery business
- Personal equestrian use with income from the holiday let
The Location
