This unique property presents an exceptional opportunity for self-build enthusiasts looking to create a modern home while preserving the charm of its historic origins. The former pump house, with its striking red brick façade and pitched red tile roof, is rich in character and awaits transformation into a contemporary living space.
Notable architectural features include a grand arched doorway, large sash windows, and a distinctive porthole window above the entrance. The retention of the original pulley system offers a glimpse into the building’s past and adds to its aesthetic appeal. Set on approximately one-third of an acre (subject to survey), this property provides ample outdoor space for landscaping or additional development.
Planning permission has been granted by East Suffolk District Council for a bold renovation project, allowing you to reimagine the interior as a stylish four-bedroom home. The approved plans detail a split-level design that features an expansive open plan kitchen, dining, and living area on the ground floor. A separate hallway leads to the principal en-suite bedroom, while two further en-suite bedrooms are situated on an elevated mezzanine level accessed by a striking helix staircase.
While there is currently a substation within the grounds, this will not impede your vision for the renovation. The surrounding area boasts good transport links and community amenities, making it an attractive location for prospective homeowners or renters alike.
With services available for reconnection and superfast broadband reported in the vicinity, you have all the essentials at your fingertips to kickstart your renovation project. This property offers significant investment potential in an increasingly sought-after area—an ideal canvas for those ready to make their mark.
Interested parties are encouraged to schedule viewings by appointment through Jackson-Stops. Detailed planning documents can be requested from agents or accessed via the East Suffolk Planning Portal for further insights into this promising project.
