BarnDescription
This property presents a unique opportunity for development, set on a generous 1-acre plot with approved planning permission for the conversion of an agricultural barn into a spacious dwelling. The plans allow for a five-bedroom, five-bathroom residence, encompassing 4,090 square feet, alongside the construction of a new triple cart-lodge. The layout is designed for flexibility, featuring an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space, as well as a ground-floor bedroom suite that can be tailored to individual preferences.
The vendors have initiated the project by creating the driveway, and a Lawful Certificate for the commencement of planning has been secured. Located in a tranquil rural setting at the end of a private driveway shared with just three other properties, this site is surrounded by picturesque fields. Stowmarket, with its mainline station to London and Cambridge, is conveniently located 7.3 miles away, while Ipswich and Bury St. Edmunds are also within easy reach. Mains electricity is available, with water to be connected and private drainage to be installed. This property offers significant potential for those looking to create a bespoke home in a desirable location.
