A former detached farmhouse destroyed by fire 2018 with a brick and timber detached barn offering a range of uses subject to planning

A rare opportunity to acquire the site of a historic former farmhouse together with a substantial detached barn, occupying an attractive rural position within approximately 1.2 acres in the picturesque Waveney Valley.

Bridge Farm is approached along a private track and surrounded by the attractive countryside within the Waveney Valley. The original Grade II listed farmhouse, which dated from the 16th century, was extensively damaged by a fire in early 2018 and was subsequently delisted.

The property is now offered with a substantial detached brick and timber barn together with the former farmhouse site and grounds extending to approximately 1.2 acres (STMS).

The property represents an unusual opportunity for builders, developers or private purchasers seeking to create an individual country home or alternative use in a highly attractive rural location, subject to all necessary planning and other statutory consents.

Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries of the relevant Local Planning Authority regarding the potential for rebuilding, conversion or redevelopment of the site.

The House Only the footprint of the building remains although it was believed to offer 4 bedrooms and a range of living rooms, kitchen and bathroom.
The Barn The main barn measures 14m x 8m with a rear recess of 3,x2.2m giving an overall area of 118.6 sqm ( 1,276 sq ft)
Land The property is being sold with approximately 1.2 acres although a further area of land can be purchased from the current owner.
