Description
SOLD STC
Vacant farmhouse with barn and land with potential building opportunities subject to planning permission. Situated in a plot of 0.5 acre (stms) in the centre of Harleston
This vacant substantial farmhouse and derelict barn is situated in a plot measuring 0.5 acre (stms). The farmland surrounding the property has been sold for development to Lovells Homes and the farmhouse requiring renovation is the final part of sale.
This would make an ideal project for builder/developer as the plot offers substantial opportunity for development subject to the necessary planning. Along with the conversion of the existing farmhouse, barn and annexe to the rear of the main property the plot holds potential for further development.
An exciting opportunity worth viewing.
Farmhouse Entrance hall, kitchen, three reception rooms, rear hall, utility room, rear hall, stairs to first floor, landing, four bedrooms and bathroom
Barn Used for storage, offering potential for redevelopment subject to planning permission being granted.
Annexe A further garage/store which would make an ideal annexe subject to necessary planning consent.
Exterior The garden offers a large driveway with ample parking which could offer potential for further development if planning permission was sought. Both the barn and farmhouse have a garden stretching beyond, measuring approximately 0.5 acre (stms)
