Description

This unique property presents an exceptional opportunity for those interested in a renovation project with considerable investment potential. The existing 1930s barn, set on approximately 1.81 acres of land, comes with full planning permission for conversion into a four-bedroom single-storey home. The relevant planning details can be accessed through reference number DC/25/02353. Nestled in the charming village of Shimpling, the barn is positioned along a tranquil no-through road, offering a serene environment surrounded by scenic countryside views. The proposed living space would extend from the front to the rear of the structure, incorporating a private courtyard and garden areas that highlight outdoor living opportunities. Additionally, there is a 1.5-acre adjacent paddock that could serve equestrian purposes or other recreational uses, enhancing the overall appeal of the property. Prospective buyers are encouraged to review their obligations regarding construction by visiting the Babergh Mid Suffolk District Council website. This property not only delivers a chance to create a personalized residence but also holds significant investment potential in a picturesque rural setting. Viewing of this property is available by appointment only through David Burr.
