Summary - LAVENDER BARN, FENSTEAD END, BURY ST. EDMUNDS, BOXTED IP29 4LH
4 bed 4 bath Plot
One‑acre rural plot with planning consent and far-reaching countryside views.
Prior Approval granted for one four-bedroom dwelling (BDC Ref: DC/23/03681)
Set within undulating West Suffolk countryside, this one‑acre plot offers a rare conversion opportunity with Prior Approval granted for a substantial four‑bedroom, two‑storey dwelling (Ref: DC/23/03681). The site occupies a level position with panoramic open‑field views and existing vehicular access from a quiet unclassified road. The proposed scheme indicates a total gross internal area of about 221 sq m (2,378 sq ft) with off‑street parking and external amenity space.
The existing building is a modern concrete‑framed agricultural barn (former grain store) with internal metal cladding and asbestos external cladding/roofing at upper levels. Electricity is connected to site and mains water is nearby, with broadband speeds up to 1000Mbps. Prior Approval has been granted by Babergh District Council subject to standard conditions; the purchaser will finalise the scheme and is responsible for any building operations required for conversion.
Important practical points: the barn is disused and will require full conversion works; the asbestos cladding will need safe removal and specialist handling; services noted have not been tested; and the sale is subject to any existing wayleaves, easements or rights of way. For a developer or self‑builder seeking a countryside project with strong connectivity to Sudbury, Bury St. Edmunds and Cambridge, this plot delivers space, views and planning headway.
Viewing is by inspection from the public highway only. The site is offered freehold with vacant possession on completion. Detailed drawings, floorplans and the full development brochure are available to download for purchasers wishing to assess feasibility and costs.
