Description

This rare development opportunity of substantial detached, Grade II Listed, thatched, timber frame barn with full planning given in a delightful village position off the Moulton Road at the edge of the village of Gazeley approximately 5 miles from Newmarket and 19 miles from Cambridge.   

The drawings and further background documentation can be found on the West Suffolk planning portal search for planning reference DC/18/2138/FUL. The extent of the area for the plot is approximately 0.8 acres in total. As forming a part of an existing development the site is accessed via a shared access driveway with full right of way. Services have already been connected to the barn.

The planning which has been granted is for a pair of four bedroom semi detached houses. The west side of the barn also benefits from additional outbuildings as seen in the plans, to be used as a home office and storage. Equally the west barn has planning for its own detached double garage. Potential to explore adapting the current planning to create an extensive single dwelling could be sought via a resubmission of planning to the local authority.
