Location Beech Trees will be found along School Road in the centre of the village. Coddenham is considered to be one of Suffolk's prettiest villages, being relatively rural but with the great advantage of being close to the A140, A12 and A14. Beech Trees is within easy walking distance of the quintessential village shop and the Country Club, which holds various events for its members as well as having a well frequented bar. Coddenham also has a community centre with excellent hall and tennis court. Retreat East, offering spa facilities, is also close by.
The village is approximately 8 miles north of Ipswich, which has an array of national shops and a railway line with trains to London's Liverpool Street scheduled to take just over the hour. The property is perfectly located for easy access to all that Suffolk has to offer, including golf, sailing, walking and bird watching. The world famous concert hall at Snape Maltings is approximately 19 miles from the property.
Description Beech Trees comprises a charming, period property, that is located centrally within this desirable village. The original core of Beech Trees probably dates from the 19th Century, but with a two storey flat roof rear extension that was possibly added 40 or 50 years ago.
Whilst the accommodation is relatively modest, it could be renovated and refurbished to create a delightful three bedroom property if required. In 2019 the vendors secured planning permission to add a two storey rear extension, and incorporate the former coal/wood store as well. The extension would create an impressive multi-functional family room on the ground floor offering kitchen, dining room and sitting room space, making the most of the wonderful views to the rear, together with a master bedroom suite with dressing area and en-suite shower room on the first floor.
Outside Beech Trees benefits from a generous westerly facing mature garden at the rear that overlooks a parkland setting comprising gently undulating pasture and agricultural land. There is also a generous area for off-road parking, on which the planning permission provides for the erection of a triple garage/cartlodge.
Planning Planning permission was granted on 28th October 2019 for the erection of a garage, two storey rear extension and changes to the fenestration - planning permission reference DC/19/04207. Extracts of the consented floorplans, together with the proposed elevations, are included within these particulars, together with a copy of the planning permission.
Once extended the proposed accommodation will comprise an entrance porch, entrance hall, sitting room, study and cloakroom (potential bathroom/shower room) on the ground floor together with an impressive extension comprising a multi-functional family room with kitchen, dining and seating areas, that will link with the former outbuilding as a new utility room. Beyond the 'family room' will be a large terraced area, with steps leading down to the garden. On the first floor there will be a master bedroom suite over the ground floor extension and making the most of the stunning views to the rear, and this will include an en-suite shower room and dressing area, together with two double bedrooms and a bathroom. There is also permission to erect a triple garage/cartlodge within the current parking area, and accessed off Blacksmiths Lane.
With planning permission granted, the principle of re-modelling and extending Beech Trees has been established, and as such we would anticipate that any variation to the design and layout based on the consented footprint, shouldn't be contentious. Nevertheless, prospective purchasers should make their own enquires in this regard, and we recommend that they speak to the architect who has worked on the project to date; Craig Beech of Beech Architects: or email: .
We have been advised by the vendors that, with the property having been unoccupied for over 2 years, VAT on the works will be charged at 5% rather than 20%,

The side and rear gardens are mainly laid to grass for ease of maintenance, but interspersed with a number of mature and specimen shrubs and trees, together with an additional, useful timber framed storage shed. There is also an impressive and mature walnut tree, and a maturing oak tree. The rear boundary comprises a post and netting fence line, together with a recently planted hedge line.
Prospective purchasers should note that the existing rear gateway to the field is an informal arrangement with the owner of the neighbouring land and no formal right of way exists.
