5 bedroom barn conversion for sale

A traditional timber framed Suffolk barn with planning permission to create a superb five bedroomed residence, in a rural setting close to historic Debenham.

Situated at the end of a long private shared driveway and located in the heart of rural Suffolk between the popular villages of Debenham and Kenton, the barn is part of Oak Tree Farm and stands adjacent to the neighbouring farmhouse.

The planning permission and listed building consent – granted by Mid Suffolk District Council, provide for a conversion of the barn to a single residential dwelling in accordance with the plans attached to the particulars.

THE OVERALL SCHEME FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF OAK TREE FARM
The vendors of Oak Tree Farm plan to sell Oak Tree Farm Barn for conversion and are currently seeking planning consent to convert the brick and pan tile barn and associated buildings on the eastern side of the site (photographs of this building can be seen in the agency displays). It is likely that the existing traditional farmhouse will be sold for updating and refurbishment at a later date.

The business currently occupying the Nissen hut beyond the pond and trees to the south of the barn, will cease to operate on the site two years after completion on the sale of Oak Tree Farm Barn.

LIMITED RIGHT OF WAY
A temporary right of way, limited to a maximum of 10 weeks following completion, will be granted to the vendors. Thereafter they will utilise the new driveway that they are creating to run on the far side of the large pond to the north of the site, to reconnect with the shared driveway.

AGENT’S NOTE
The property is liable for C.I.L
Private occupier exemption may apply.
