Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a barn with approved planning permission for conversion into a residential property, set on approximately 1.81 acres of land. The plans envision transforming this 1930s structure into a spacious four-bedroom, single-storey home. Nestled in the tranquil village of Shimpling, the property boasts a serene location off Old Rectory Lane, which is characterized by its quiet atmosphere and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The proposed living space will extend through the barn to feature both a private courtyard at the front and a garden at the rear, complemented by an additional 1.5-acre paddock ideal for equestrian activities. Interested buyers are encouraged to consult with Babergh Mid Suffolk District Council via reference number DC/25/02353 for detailed planning information and to ensure all requirements are met during the build process.
