Description
Planning permission was granted for the demolition of a dwelling and the replacement house by East Suffolk Council under reference DC/22/3527/FUL on the 25th of April 2023. This is now a bare site and the sellers are in the process of fulfilling the necessary conditions so that East Suffolk Council deem the development lawfully commenced. Some of the plans associated with the permission are included within these particulars.
The site offers an exciting opportunity to create a contemporary home of 250 sqm (2,700 sq. ft). The design offers red brick elevations and extensive glazing to allow plenty of light to flood into the accommodation. The property will provide a high degree of insulation and can be built with sustainability at its core. The accommodation will consist an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, study (or ground floor bedroom), cloakroom, shower room, along with a fabulous open plan living room/dining room/kitchen with glazing on three sides and large sliding doors to the terrace. In addition will be a separate sitting room with roof lights and sliding doors to the terrace. On the first floor will be a principal bedroom with en-suite, along with three further bedrooms, one with an en-suite and family bathroom.
