A rare self-build opportunity in the heart of Bedfield: this large 0.22-acre plot has planning permission for a single-storey, contemporary Suffolk-vernacular bungalow of about 1,270 sq ft with a detached garage and driveway. The consent (Mid Suffolk DC, 12 March 2025, ref DC/24/05551) supports an open-plan kitchen/dining area with bi-fold doors to a westerly rear garden, a principal bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms and utility space — a straightforward scheme for an owner-builder to deliver a comfortable family home in a peaceful village setting.
The plot sits close to the village centre, within easy reach of the primary school, playing field and community links to Framlingham, Debenham and Ipswich. With low crime, average broadband and mobile signal, and no flood risk, the site suits buyers seeking rural life with accessible local services. The block-paved driveway and single garage are included in the consented layout, and gardens are proposed to both front and rear.
Buyers should note material obligations: a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charge of £23,224.17 was set (13 March 2025), though self-builder/owner-occupier exemptions may be available and should be confirmed with Mid Suffolk Council. The sale includes a shared driveway arrangement; purchasers will contribute to its upkeep under existing rights of way. Mains water and drainage are available in the highway and electricity is overhead, but prospective purchasers must verify service locations and capacity before purchase.
This is a sensible plot for a family or downsizer wanting a single-storey, low-maintenance home in an affluent, agricultural area. The planning permission and consented drawings reduce the initial risk and shorten the lead time to build — while the shared access, CIL position and on-site service checks are the key practical issues to resolve before committing.
