This property presents a significant opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. With planning permission already granted, the site allows for the construction of three new dwellings: a link-detached bungalow, a link-detached house, and a detached bungalow. The project will commence following the demolition of an existing agricultural storage building on approximately 0.27 acres (0.11 hectares).
Located within Watering Farm in Nettlestead and just a short drive from Somersham, this site offers both the tranquil charm of rural living and convenient access to local amenities. Somersham features a range of facilities, including a village pub, primary school, shop, hairdresser, garage, and community hall, making it well-suited for families and individuals alike. The surrounding farmland provides picturesque views while maintaining accessibility to larger villages such as Bramford and Claydon, which offer additional shopping and recreational options.
The property's strategic location also allows for easy connectivity to major road networks such as the A14. This provides direct routes east toward Ipswich and Felixstowe or west toward Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge. Ipswich itself is only about 2 miles away and offers comprehensive services including a mainline train station with connections to London Liverpool Street.
The approved plans include specific layouts for each unit:
- Unit 1: A two/three-bedroom link-detached bungalow (887 sq ft).
- Unit 2: A four-bedroom link-detached chalet-style house (1,245 sq ft).
- Unit 3: A two-bedroom detached bungalow (853 sq ft).
In total, the project encompasses nearly 3,000 square feet of residential space with dedicated gardens and parking provisions for each unit. The vendors have taken proactive steps by phasing the development; early groundwork has already begun with approval from local authorities to create necessary accesses before planning expiration in January 2024.
Furthermore, there is an opportunity to enhance investment potential as adjacent properties may also be available for development; discussions regarding these can be pursued separately. Additional details concerning Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) obligations are available upon request.
For prospective buyers looking to develop or renovate properties in this appealing locale, complete access to necessary utilities is anticipated. New independent underground supplies for water, electricity, and drainage can be established from the public highway with appropriate easements provided by the vendor.
This site offers not only an immediate investment potential through planned residential development but also long-term value given its desirable location near essential amenities and transport links.
