Exciting residential development opportunity.

Description

Elmcroft presents a residential development opportunity in a highly desirable location. The existing property was designed and built in the 1960's and is constructed of brick under a tiled roof. The property offers an incoming purchaser a number of options.

Option 1: implementing the planning permission which has been granted for the erection of a new two storey detached dwelling in place of the current two storey detached dwelling on a 'one for one' basis. The planning permission is
for a five bedroom, five bath/shower room property, with an outdoor swimming pool, pool house and garaging to the front of the property. The design is for a high specification throughout, sympathetically blended with the local vernacular. There is the opportunity to create beautiful gardens, fully landscaped with wide terraces, perfect for al fresco dining. The property will in time benefit from mature established planting offering a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Planning Ref: DC/20/5016/FUL

Option 2: Apply for alternative planning permission using some of the existing fabric of the property.

Location

Set in the tranquil village of Rushmere St Andrew with the surrounding rolling countryside and picturesque neighbouring villages, it's easy to forget you're only a few minutes from Ipswich, Suffolk's county town. Ipswich has a lot to choose from including great sporting and recreational facilities, an established theatre as well as a wide variety of shopping outlets, restaurants, cinemas and bars. Also on offer, is the idyllic Ipswich Waterfront, many fine churches, buildings and narrow streets of the medieval town. There is a main line railway station in the town to London’s Liverpool street station, taking from 65 minutes. There is also good access to both the A14 and A12 trunk roads which lead to London, the Midlands and the major motorway network beyond. If you fancy venturing further afield you’ll find a wonderful heritage coastline, scattered with traditional seaside resorts such as Aldeburgh and Southwold.
And for something a little different you’ll find Newmarket - the home of British horse racing just a short drive away.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
