Description

This property offers a unique opportunity to develop a charming Suffolk-style home on a generous garden plot of approximately 0.32 acres, located in an elevated position within a tranquil lane leading from the village. The site benefits from full planning consent for the construction of a detached dwelling and garage, making it an ideal investment for those looking to create a bespoke property in this desirable area. The gently sloping land is bordered by hedges and trees, providing natural privacy while ensuring views of the picturesque village below. With several mature fruit trees already established, the main garden area will be south-facing, promising ample sunlight throughout the day. The existing dilapidated outbuilding and polytunnel offer further opportunities for redevelopment or repurposing. Crucially, the planning consent encourages sustainable building practices and biodiversity enhancements, including native planting schemes that align with environmental considerations in this Conservation Area. Mains water and electricity are available nearby; however, drainage will need to be managed privately due to distance from mains services. This project appeals to developers or owner-occupiers who wish to create a modern home with character while adhering to ecological standards in an attractive community setting.
