Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a plot of land with full planning permission for an architect-designed single-storey bungalow, set within a peaceful and highly desirable semi-rural setting to the rear of Avondale. The proposed home offers spacious, modern open-plan living with vaulted ceilings, three well-proportioned bedrooms including two en-suite facilities, and a versatile snug, all designed to maximise comfort and flexibility. Large glazed openings and extensive terrace areas create a seamless connection between the interior and the landscaped garden surroundings, which include an ornamental garden, pond, and detached lodge with attractive field views. The plot benefits from established access via the existing Avondale driveway and offers further potential for reconfiguration of outbuildings and driveway layout, making this an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke home in a tranquil setting.

Location - This plot is located on the outskirts of the charming semi-rural village of Blundeston bordering Corton. Blundeston is nestled in the county of Suffolk and is situated just 3.5 miles North-West of the seaside town, Lowestoft. The village is set on a bus route which provides direct access into Lowestoft town centre, along with the picturesque town of Beccles. Conveniences such as a primary school, a village hall, bowls club and a public house make up this tight knit community. Nearby, you'll find the Norfolk & Suffolk Broads, lined with many beautiful towns and villages to visit, making it a perfect place to call home.

The Bungalow - This listing comprises the sale of a plot of land with full planning permission for a beautifully designed single-storey bungalow. The proposed dwelling offers generous, contemporary open-plan living, featuring a vaulted-ceiling lounge, a spacious kitchen and dining area, and a separate snug/TV room, ideal for flexible family use. The accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal suite benefitting from a private en-suite, alongside a second bedroom also served by its own en-suite shower room. Practical additions such as a utility/boot room and cloakroom further enhance everyday convenience. Large glazed openings throughout the design create a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces, opening onto a series of covered and open terraces that overlook an ornamental garden. This layout has been carefully considered to promote a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle, ideally suited to modern living.

The Plot - The plot is located to the rear of the existing property known as Avondale. The land and proposed dwelling may be purchased either separately or in conjunction with the existing house, subject to agreement; however, this listing relates specifically to the plot of land only.

Access is provided via the existing driveway serving Avondale, which benefits from two entrances. The right-hand access (as shown in the images) is intended to be separated to serve the new bungalow, forming its principal entrance. Planning permission also includes the relocation of the existing cart lodge to the Avondale house plot, allowing for the creation of a new driveway running along the right-hand boundary and extending to the rear of the existing garden.

Some reconfiguration of existing outbuildings may be required, including the relocation of a bar structure associated with Avondale, to accommodate the proposed layout.

The site itself currently comprises a generous lawned area, identified as the footprint for the proposed bungalow, together with a large pond and an impressive detached lodge. Both the pond and lodge enjoy peaceful views over adjoining fields.

The site plan will require amendment, with the proposed building moved further west to accommodate the lodge in its current position.

The Lodge - The detached lodge included within the sale offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a peaceful position overlooking the pond and surrounding fields. Outside, it features extensive decking with multiple seating areas and a hot tub (included in the sale), providing a superb space for relaxing and entertaining in a private, scenic setting.

Inside, the lodge is insulted (roof & floor) and provides a bright and versatile open-plan layout, ideal for entertaining or potential annexe use (subject to the necessary consents). The spacious reception area includes a striking 90-inch flat screen TV mounted on a rotating panel, also included in the sale, and flows seamlessly into a contemporary kitchen with a breakfast bar and seating. The kitchen is fitted with modern Wren units, a built-in oven, induction hob, integrated fridge and dishwasher, along with hot and cold water supply. A door leads through to a convenient WC, completing this well-appointed and highly functional space. This building can be extended further to provide an annexe or Air BnB.

Agent Note - This plot is available to purchase on its own and this listing refers to the plot only, with the existing house to be sold separately to another purchaser. The plot and existing house may also be available together as a combined purchase under a separate arrangement. Please refer to the relevant listing or contact our office for further details.
