Description

Planning permission was granted by Mid Suffolk District Council on 30th September 2022 for the construction of one dwelling with double garage, Reference DC/22/05322.  Immediately to the west of the plot planning permission has also been granted for the conversion of a range of traditional barns to create three dwellings - Reference DC/22/03270.  A copy of the planning permission for this particular plot, together with extracts of the consented plans are included within these particulars.

The planning permission provides for the construction of an impressive and substantial, contemporary designed barn-style dwelling that extends to over 2,600 square feet (244 sqm) in all.  The proposed accommodation comprises an entrance hall, open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, drawing room, study, utility/boot room and two ground floor bedrooms.  On the first floor there will be a master bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite bathroom together with guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom.  

Outside the property will be approached via a private driveway that is shared with the neighbouring barn conversions and this leads to a generous parking and turning area to the front of the property.   Here there will also be a detached double garage.  To the rear of the property there will be a substantial rear garden backing onto open agricultural land.  Additional land to the front of the property may be available by separate negotiation.

The drawings that accompanied the planning permission provide for roof coverings of clay pantiles and natural slate tiles, with the elevations in a mixture of red brick and black weatherboarding.  The proposed design also allows for a very good amount of glazing on the rear elevation, making the most of the views of the gardens and the open countryside beyond.
