Set on approximately 1.35 acres on the edge of Elmsett, this site offers two distinct redevelopment opportunities: an approved replacement four-bedroom dwelling and Class Q prior approval to convert the existing barn into a four-bedroom home (two en‑suites). The plot’s size and rural position deliver strong scope for a high-quality country residence or a pair of complementary homes, with existing driveway access arranged for separate entrances onto Manor Road.
Practical considerations are clear and documented: mains water and electricity reach the site, but the existing septic tank is understood to be non-compliant and will require replacement. The majority of the site lies in Flood Zone 1, though a northeast boundary alongside a tributary falls into Flood Zone 3 and will need careful consideration in any site layout or landscaping plans.
Financially, prior approvals reduce some planning risk, but non-self-build purchasers should allow for a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) on the replacement dwelling of approximately £46,457 (circa £115/sqm); no CIL is payable for the barn conversion. Buyers should verify current CIL rates with Babergh District Council and review the planning references DC/23/04571 and DC/24/00466 for full conditions and plans.
This site will suit developers, builders or owner‑occupiers seeking a substantial rural plot with approved schemes in place. It presents countryside living, agricultural character and development upside, balanced by practical costs (CIL, septic replacement) and a small area of higher flood risk that requires attention during final design.
