Barn For Conversion - An exciting barn conversion/replacement build opportunity to create a contemporary modern home in an edge of village setting with rural views.
Grove Farm Barn is a substantial steel framed agricultural building with a barrel roof, which sits beyond Grove Farm House and its model farm range of buildings.
The property is approached via a right of way over a long track driveway with the site, which abuts farm and meadow land, extending to about 1.3 acres.
Plans prepared by Roger Balmer Design of East Bergholt (Tel.[use Contact Agent Button]), show the potential to convert the existing building to a stunning contemporary modern home with an open plan ground floor, featuring kitchen, dining and sitting areas, together with a spacious master bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom.
On the first floor the plans show 4 bedrooms, family and en suite bathrooms, together with a study, cloakroom and laundry room.
There is ample space within the plot, and indeed a former cart lodge which, subject to planning, offers the potential for siting of a modern cart lodge range.
The architects are confident that an application to replace the existing structure with a similar size and design new build property, in a similar location could achieve planning consent, and they will be happy to discuss such an option.
