Development site for sale of this former primary school.
Conversion of existing building into 3 homes and permission for 7 new dwellings.

Location:
Bury Road, Stanton is well located close to the historic core of this thriving village, within walking distance of the various amenities on offer, including a recently opened
new Co-op, primary school, doctors surgery and medical centre, public house, post office/village store, village hall and a large recreation ground, and two churches.

The site is located just off the A143 approximately 10 miles from Bury St Edmunds, which is famed for its Cathedral, rich medieval heritage, Georgian Theatre Royal and an abundance of highly rated independent restaurants and shops, as well as sporting and educational facilities. In the
other direction, on the A143, is the village of Diss with its mainline railway link through to London Liverpool Street.

The site is just over an acre, the demolition of the more modern classrooms have been undertaken, leaving a clear site, with the original Victorian school and schoolhouse in place.
It is understood that water, electric and drainage are available on site, with gas nearby.

There will also be a reserved right of way over the new access road and footpath to the playing field to the rear of the site, which will be retained as local green space.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    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
