  • Development Potential On Whole Site (stp)

  • Heated Swimming Pool
  • Grounds Approximately 1.5 acres (sts)
  • Outbuildings
  • Fully Let Converted Barn

  • Rare Opportunity
  • So Many Uses
A beautiful detached farmhouse offering large expansive well proportioned living accommodation planned over three floors set in grounds extending to approximately 1 1/2 acres (sts) with additional outbuildings, a converted barn and heated indoor swimming pool. The property is located approximately 4 miles to the north of Lowestoft within easy access to all transport links including Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth and is nicely set approximately 1 mile from the beautiful and unspoiled beach and sea. Benefiting from 9 bedrooms the farmhouse provides the perfect opportunity for multigenerational living or hospitality uses. The outbuildings consist of the already converted barn which is currently let under an assured short short hold tenancy agreement (through this agency) providing an income of £6900 per annum, The additional barn is presently being used for storage and garaging but has in the past had planning permission granted to convert to 2 additional holiday bungalows (details of this application can be found within the main description). The gorgeous landscaped gardens wrap round all 4 sides and are predominately laid to lawn with various seating areas. The mature inset trees provide seclusion from the main road and there is an additional secluded private garden with covered heated indoor swimming pool. As the property and grounds are situated adjacent to the proposed north of Lowestoft Garden Village which is within East Suffolk local plan there is also the opportunity in exploring development on the whole site, subject to any necessary planning permissions and approvals. The rarest of opportunities for any number of potential buyers for an early inspection is highly recommended.
