This property presents a distinctive opportunity for redevelopment, nestled in a picturesque rural setting with full planning permission approved for the construction of a detached two-storey family home. The plot spans approximately 6 acres and is currently part of an established agricultural farm within the charming parish of Groton.
The planning permission allows for the demolition of an existing steel-framed barn, paving the way for a modern two-storey dwelling that includes 213 sq.m (2,291 sq.ft) of internal space. The proposed layout features an inviting entrance hall, a cloakroom, and a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Additionally, the design incorporates three double bedrooms—two with ensuite facilities—a versatile bedroom/study, and a family bathroom. Notably, there is scope to reposition the new home further into its designated residential curtilage, enhancing its placement on the site significantly.
Beyond the immediate building project lies a further 5.63 acres of land that remains under agricultural designation. While this additional space offers potential for future development or recreational use, any change would require supplementary planning approval.
Groton itself is a small village offering essential amenities such as a local pub and church. Nearby Boxford supplies more comprehensive services including schools and shops. Access to the property is gained from a minor county lane leading to a shared driveway.
Importantly for developers or self-build enthusiasts, this site falls within Flood Zone 1—indicating minimal flood risk—and has access to mains water and electricity nearby. A biological sewage treatment system will likely be necessary to handle foul drainage once development commences.
