This property offers a compelling renovation and investment opportunity nestled in a tranquil rural setting, spanning approximately 2.85 acres. The land is part of an established arable farm, located within the picturesque parish of Groton, providing both seclusion and natural beauty.
The site has received full planning permission for the construction of a two-storey detached home, which will replace an existing agricultural barn. The approved design encompasses around 213 square meters (2,291 square feet) and features a functional layout that includes a welcoming hall, cloakroom, open-plan kitchen/dining/living area, utility room, snug, galleried landing, three double bedrooms—two with ensuite facilities—a further bedroom or study, and a family bathroom.
The planning approval also allows for the repositioning of the new dwelling further northeast into its designated residential curtilage. This adjustment optimizes the site’s layout and enhances the overall appeal of the future home. Prospective buyers can review detailed planning documentation through Babergh & Mid Suffolk's planning portal under reference DC/24/04501.
In addition to the main parcel of land, the sale includes an additional 2.48 acres currently classified as amenity space. Extending residential use into this area would require a separate application but presents further potential for development or personalization.
Groton itself is characterized by its charming rural ambiance and small village amenities such as a parish church and The Fox & Hounds pub. Located just over two miles away is Boxford village, which offers essential services including a primary school, several pubs, community hall, and various shops catering to daily needs.
Access to the property is via a county lane leading to a shared driveway with formal rights of way granted to successors for ease of access and maintenance contributions.
Additional advantages include that the property lies entirely within Flood Zone 1, indicating minimal flood risk. While mains water and electricity connections are nearby, future owners will need to arrange these installations along with anticipated foul drainage through a biological sewage treatment plant.
This unique opportunity not only provides space for an impressive new residence but also allows for potential growth in land use within this desirable rural setting.
