Description
Planning permission was granted by East Suffolk Council on 21st November 2024 for the erection of one self-build dwelling and garage - Reference DC/24/1252/FUL. A copy of the planning permission, together with extracts of the consented plans, are included within these particulars.

The planning permission provides for the construction of a spacious detached chalet style house which extends to approximately 2,335 sq ft (217 sqm) in all. The proposed accommodation comprises a generous entrance hall for receiving guests, which connects well with the L-shaped open plan kitchen/breakfast room, which in turn connects with the utility/plant room. In addition there is the sitting room and dining room, study/bedroom 4 and cloakroom. On the first floor there is the principal double bedroom with en-suite shower room that overlooks the rear garden, the guest bedroom, with en-suite shower room, that overlooks The Street, a single bedroom and family bathroom.

Outside the property will be accessed from a driveway off Sandy Lane, and this will lead to the detached garage, parking and turning area. There will be a garden to the front of the property and, facing east, this will enjoy the sun throughout the morning together with a more private garden to the rear, which will enjoy the sun during the latter part of the day and into the evening.

The drawings that accompanied the planning permission provide for a mixture of contemporary and traditional finishes with elevations finished in a combination of  weathered red brick and horizontal cladding set beneath pitched roofs of dark red plain tiles and aluminium windows and doors in anthracite grey.

The vendors are also marketing the former Admiral’s Head for sale. This site previously formed the car park to that property.

A mains foul drainage connection crosses the site that serves the former Admiral’s Head and a neighbouring property, with each party equally responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of that drainage connection which connects with the mains in The Street. Prior to the property/site being connected to the mains drainage there was a septic tank within the car park, which is now redundant.
