Planning permission has been granted, under reference no: DC/22/00218 Babergh District Council, for the erection of a two-storey side extension. This is to include a new Kitchen /Dining area on the Ground floor with a large upper balcony to the Master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, a re-shaped pitched porch roof and application of external cladding to the front of the property. This property would perhaps suit those people wanting to change their work/ life balance.

On the first floor are four bedrooms with fitted wardrobes throughout and a new bathroom with a high quality 'Roper Rhodes' suite comprising a paneled bath with a thermostatically controlled power shower over, large mirrored wall mounted storage unit, wash basin, low level WC and tiled walls and radiator. The vendor has started the planning permission by recently having the new driveway put in with ample parking for several cars and a turning area. The front garden has also been newly landscaped and includes a new lawned area,Tegula paving, a fence and a new side gate.

As previously mentioned the overall plot extends to around 0.4 of an acre which is predominantly lawned with a number of mature trees and shrubs, providing a delightful setting to the property and countryside aspect. We are advised that the garden has a small area which must be retained as agricultural, allowing you to plant vegetables, grow fruit trees, use as small allotment etc. There is also a new oil-fired external boiler and a large wooden shed. We have been advised by the Vendor that part of the garden land has an Overage Deed attached to it, confirming that if anyone were to obtain planning permission to develop the land, the original owners of the land would benefit from 50% of the uplift.
