This property presents a rare opportunity for renovation and investment in a picturesque rural setting. Comprising approximately 3.32 acres, this site includes full planning permission to replace an existing agricultural barn with a two-storey, five-bedroom detached residence, allowing for significant development potential.
Situated at the end of a private drive within the serene landscape of the Brett Valley, the property offers not only seclusion but also accessibility to nearby amenities. The charming medieval village of Lavenham is just 2.8 miles away, providing various shopping options, eateries, and local attractions. Meanwhile, the smaller village of Monks Eleigh is located about 1.3 miles to the west.
The approved dwelling will feature an expansive layout including an open-plan kitchen/dining area, multiple living spaces, and five spacious bedrooms—two of which come with en-suite facilities. Additionally, there’s potential for enhancing privacy and aesthetics through landscaping and boundary modifications, as part of the planning approval allows repositioning of the building within its designated curtilage.
Included in the sale is an additional 2.14 acres designated as amenity land. While currently classified for agricultural use—extending your investment opportunities—it does require further planning applications should you choose to expand residential use.
Access to the property includes an established right-of-way along a track that will need resurfacing; all future owners will contribute equally to its maintenance. Though access is privately maintained, it ensures a seamless connection to public roads.
Key considerations include adhering to planning conditions and completing construction within a specified timeframe to maintain community integrity. As part of sustainable building practices, certain areas have been earmarked for biodiversity conservation efforts.
The surrounding countryside offers tranquil views and recreational possibilities while maintaining proximity to local communities. This unique blend of location benefits and investment potential makes it ideal for those looking to create a custom-built family home or capitalize on rural development opportunities after renovation.
