This traditional Suffolk barn, complete with outbuildings, presents a unique opportunity for transformation, thanks to the secured planning permission for conversion into a four-bedroom residence. Set on a substantial plot of approximately 0.6 acres (0.24 hectares), the property is located along Laxfield Road, just east of Stradbroke village. The area has convenient access to local amenities including shops, schools, and recreational facilities such as a sports centre and public houses.
The existing structure has already seen some renovations; notably, the roof was overhauled in 2016 and Velux windows were installed. The approved plans outline an impressive layout with nearly 2,200 sq ft (204 sqm) available for living space, featuring multiple reception areas as well as ample bedroom accommodations on both floors.
The outdoor space allows for potential gardens and features designated areas for parking and turning that connect seamlessly with the proposed garage. There’s also potential to retain and repurpose some outbuildings for additional functionality.
While mains electricity is connected, new water connections will be necessary. The site also benefits from a private drainage system compliant with current regulations.
This project offers significant renovation potential for an investor or homeowner ready to create a bespoke dwelling in this appealing rural setting.
