Building Plot on Haughley Road

General information This attractive site is located on the outskirts of the small hamlet of Harleston surrounded by attractive open countryside and adjoining Harleston Hall, a fine Grade II Listed house with some fine period features and between the hall and the subject property is a range of former period agricultural outbuildings which have been converted to residential use. The site presently has a steel frame and concrete block modern barn but the site has full planning consent for the construction of a new barn style residential property as shown in these details. 

Location The site has frontage to Haughley Road, a quiet lane which leads from the village of Harleston towards Haughley with a crossing of the A14 as one approaches the village of Haughley. The property is surrounded by open unspoilt countryside and the lane leads back into the village of Harleston which is remarkable for its large mature village green. The location is perfect for someone wishing to live in a rural location with easy access to the A14 providing easy travel onwards to Stowmarket, Ipswich to the east and Bury St. Edmunds, Newmarket and Cambridge to the West. The level site is enclosed by country hedging to Haughley Road and a recently planted hedge adjoining the private driveway to the east of the plot. The extent of the site which has detailed planning consent is shown edged red on the attached site plan. 

Potential extra land The area coloured blue on the site plan extending to some 1.15 acres is available to purchase, this land is zoned as meadowland and will be sold as such and the vendor will not make the purchase of this land subject to any planning conditions. In the event that the purchase involves only the land edged red the purchaser will be expected to erect a new boundary fence along the south and west boundary of the plot. In the event that the area edged blue is purchased, the boundary along the southern edge of this site if it is fenced, the cost of fencing should be borne equally between the purchaser of the blue land and the area lying to the south which is the current owner of Harleston Hall. This agreement was set out in an earlier transaction for the purchase of the land lying to the south of the land edged blue. 

Planning The site edged red has planning consent granted under application reference DC/22/04845 for the erection of one dwelling and garage following demolition of existing building. A copy of this planning approval is available either from Mid Suffolk District Councils website or by email from the agents. The planning permission was dated the 21st November 2022 and has a three year life span. The property to be sold has the benefit of a right of way over the adjoining private driveway to provide access to the barn and the proposed garage. 

Community Infastructure levy A liability notice for this site has been received from Mid Suffolk District Council in the sum of £39,130.98 which represents the appropriate seal charge for 277.75 sq.m of developable area which reflects the floor area of the barn and adjoining garage. 

Services The purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the location of other services to the site.
