This building plot presents a fantastic opportunity to create a contemporary barn-style residence in a desirable village location. The site, measuring approximately 0.2 acres, is well-situated near local amenities including shops, a post office, and public houses such as The Three Horseshoes and The Weeping Willow. A primary school is also within walking distance, while easy access to the A14 facilitates travel to Newmarket—a hub for British Horse Racing—and the historic city of Cambridge. Bury St Edmunds lies to the east with its rich market heritage and vibrant community offerings.
Planning permission has been secured (Ref: DC/25/1031/FUL), allowing for the construction of a self-build dwelling following the demolition of an existing barn. Detailed design work at RIBA Stage 4 has been completed, paving the way for construction to commence.
The proposed design aims to preserve the essence of the original barn structure while enhancing it with modern features like expansive glazing. The future home will boast a vaulted living area, kitchen and dining space, separate utility/larder areas, three bedrooms—including a principal suite with an en suite—and additional storage that may allow for conversion into extra accommodation with further planning approval.
The external area will include private parking leading to an attached garage and a south-west facing garden featuring a small pond, ideal for outdoor leisure activities. This property not only offers immediate residential potential but also allows for personalisation that could increase value upon completion.
