Summary - MOAT FARM BARN PARLIAMENT HEATH GROTON SUDBURY CO10 5EP
4 bed 3 bath Plot
Substantial rural plot with permission for a 2,291 sq ft family house and approx. 2.85 acres.
Full planning permission for two-storey 2,291 sq ft replacement dwelling (DC/24/04501)
A rare countryside redevelopment opportunity at Moat Farm with full planning permission (ref DC/24/04501) to demolish the existing steel-clad barn and build a two-storey, 2,291 sq ft detached house set within approximately 2.85 acres. The approved layout provides open-plan living, a separate snug/utility, three double bedrooms with two ensuites, a further bedroom/study and a galleried landing — a flexible family home designed to take advantage of long, unobstructed rural views.
The sale includes 0.37 acres of approved residential curtilage and an additional 2.48 acres retained as agricultural land. That extra acreage offers scope for amenity garden, paddock or other countryside uses but would require a separate planning application to extend residential curtilage. The site is well screened by hedgerows and mature trees, sits in Flood Zone 1, and benefits from low local crime and an affluent, prospering-countryside setting.
Practical considerations are straightforward but material. There are 18 planning conditions to discharge and some services (mains water and electricity) will need connecting; foul drainage is expected via a biological sewage treatment plant. A CIL charge may apply unless the buyer qualifies for the self-build exemption (occupation requirement applies). Access is via a shared drive with a required contribution to future maintenance under an equal-rights arrangement.
This plot will suit a buyer seeking a substantial new-build family home in a secluded rural location, a self-builder able to manage planning obligations, or an investor looking to deliver a high-spec replacement dwelling. The permitted scheme reduces planning risk, but buyers should budget for condition discharge, service connections, CIL considerations and any further permissions needed to bring additional agricultural land into residential use.
