SUMMARY A rare opportunity for a self builder or small developer to purchase land in this popular residential area within walking distance of the town centre.

The building plot has full planning permission for a detached two storey dwelling with 4 bedrooms, offering an approximate Gross Internal Area (GIA) of 1,614 ft2. Located off Mermaid Close, with river frontage to the River Lark and land on the opposite bank benefiting from nature conservation, this unique plot size is approximately 0.11 acres (subject to survey). An easement is in place, affording the plot full access for connection of utilities in Mermaid Close. In addition there is a topographical survey of the site.  

INTRODUCTION The site is located to the side of Mermaid Close off the A1101 Fornham Rd, which is within walking distance of Bury St Edmunds town centre and the railway station. The town offers an eclectic mix of period properties within the main retail area and has a striking combination of medieval architecture and elegant Georgian squares with the glorious Cathedral and Abbey Gardens providing a distinctive visual charm.

The plot itself has excellent links to public transport; the railway station, with regular trains to Ipswich and Cambridge with onward routes to London is within easy walking distance. Cambridge is located approximately 29 miles to the west and Stowmarket is approximately 16 miles to the east. 

LOCATION Mermaid Close is located on the A1101 Fornham Rd to the north of the town centre, close to the A14 junction for Bury central J43.
