Description

This property presents a unique opportunity in the picturesque village of Ardleigh, nestled near the scenic Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Set on over 0.5 acres (subject to survey), this site comes with full planning permission for an innovative self-build barn conversion. The approved plans entail the demolition of the existing barn to make way for a thoughtfully designed single-storey dwelling featuring three bedrooms, strategically positioned to enhance both space and privacy. Ardleigh is a quaint village that benefits from its proximity to larger urban centers. Located just four miles northeast of Colchester and only three miles from Manningtree train station, residents can enjoy easy access to rail services connecting them to Colchester, Ipswich, London Liverpool Street, and Norwich. This blend of rural charm and accessibility makes it an ideal spot for those looking to invest in a property that embodies both tranquility and convenience. The renovation potential here is significant, as buyers have the chance to customize their future home to suit personal preferences while also enhancing property value in this desirable location. Whether you're looking to create a serene retreat or capitalize on investment opportunities in a growing area, this plot holds considerable promise for future development.
