Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a rural barn with planning permission for conversion to a single storey dwelling set in 1.94 acres.

Property - The property comprises a detached barn is a delightful rural setting with open aspect to the rear. It has planning permission from South Norfolk District Council under reference 2025/2879 for "change of use of agricultural building to residential dwelling following Class Q approval, change of use of agricultural land to residential curtilage".

The planning permission allows for a dwelling of 1442 sq ft and whilst there is the residential curtilage as denoted in the plan, the total plot extends to 1.94 acres and provides a wonderful opportunity for those seeking space and country life.
