This gives you access to the wider amenities in Diss (9 miles) with its mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street in 90 minutes and the fine Cathedral City of Norwich (15 miles). The market town of Harleston (5 miles) is also close by and easily accessed.  

The Property The agricultural barn at Lodge Farm has been given permission to convert into a residential dwelling under Class Q permitted development. This means the conversion must retain the general size and aesthetic of the agricultural building before it. If done well, these conversions can create truly special family homes. The barn is being bought to market individually to allow the purchasers an opportunity to build their ideal home. The current consent grants the conversion of the barn into a substantial 4 bed, detached dwelling on a single storey.

The proposed conversion allows approximately 167.5 sqm (1,800 sqft) of living space which includes four bedrooms along with an open plan kitchen dining room and a separate living room.
