This traditional Suffolk barn presents a compelling investment opportunity with approved planning permission to transform it into a four-bedroom residence. Spanning approximately 0.6 acres, the property is located along Laxfield Road, just a short distance from the vibrant village of Stradbroke. The area offers essential amenities including shops, schools, and recreational facilities, enhancing its appeal for potential buyers or tenants.
Originally granted in June 1989, the planning permission has been partially enacted through preliminary construction work, thus expediting future development stages. Significant improvements have already been made, including a recently renovated roof equipped with Velux windows that provide natural light throughout the barn's expansive layout.
The proposed design outlines nearly 2,200 sq ft (204 sqm) of living space featuring an entrance hall, generous sitting room, kitchen-dining area, study, playroom, utility room, and a ground-floor bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. The first floor is designed to accommodate three additional bedrooms and another bathroom.
The outdoor space will include parking provisions and a courtyard garden while retaining some existing outbuildings which could serve as storage or workshop spaces after further modifications. This project invites creative renovation ideas to maximize its potential while respecting its agricultural heritage.
With electricity already connected and plans for mains water installation outlined—alongside drainage systems meeting current regulations—this property is primed for the next stage of redevelopment in an increasingly desirable location.
