Battisford Road, Hitcham, Ipswich

A rare opportunity to acquire a traditional timber-framed Suffolk barn occupying approximately 0.25 acres in a delightful rural setting surrounded by open countryside. Enjoying a peaceful position off the beaten track with only a handful of neighbouring properties nearby, Eastwood Farm Barn offers significant potential for redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

Set amidst attractive paddocks, mature trees and unspoilt Suffolk countryside, the property enjoys a wonderfully secluded setting with a charming rural outlook. The existing barn is a characterful traditional structure with weatherboarded elevations and a wealth of period charm, presenting an exciting opportunity for those seeking a bespoke country home project.

The barn was previously granted Class Q consent for conversion to residential accommodation; however, this

permission has now lapsed and prospective purchasers will need to submit a fresh planning application and satisfy themselves as to the suitability of their proposed scheme. Class Q permitted development rights continue to provide a potential route for the

conversion of agricultural buildings to residential use, subject to meeting current planning requirements and obtaining the necessary approvals.

Occupying grounds of approximately 0.25 acres, the site benefits from a tranquil rural environment whilst remaining within easy reach of local villages and amenities. Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare and the property offers considerable scope for purchasers looking to create a unique home in an idyllic Suffolk setting.
