Property description & features

  • Flint and Chalk block granary barn for conversion
  • West Suffolk Council Planning permission granted ref DC/22/1073/FUL
  • Superb example of a flint and chalk block barn.
  • Completed development approximately 2400 sq ft.

A rare opportunity to acquire an imposing flint and chalk block period granary barn with detailed planning permission for conversion into a substantial 4 bedroom home which will offer accommodation of approximately 2400sq ft. Formerly part of Hall Farm and with a delightful approach via Church Lane, the property stands in an attractive courtyard shared with 3 adjoining homes with far reaching views to the rear over open countryside. South Barn is an outstanding example of a chalk and flint barn with exceptional uniformly cut "clunch" blockwork and is a partially completed conversion with new foundations and internal steel work installed and mains electricity, water and sewerage connected.

Description - South Barn is a truly exceptional example of a flint and chalk block granary barn with detailed planning permission for conversion into a substantial home situated in a former farm yard with views of the village church.

The conversion of the adjoining North Barn has been recently completed to an exceptionally high standard and now boast a wealth of exceptional character and a stunning contemporary design. The internal photographs are of the completed North Barn and are illustrative of the potential finishes and completed style and design for South Barn. The owners of the completed North Barn can potentially offer access to allow potential purchasers the opportunity to see an example of the finished design.

Internal Renovation Work - The conversion of South Barn has commenced with foundations and the internal steel framework in place for the conversion. All Internal foundations, all storm drainage, all foul drainage, electricity supply, water supply and wiring for internet connections are in place. The Barn is a partially complete project and the current owners have indicated they will be prepared to complete the project on the purchasers behalf subject to negotiation and agreement on any additional costs.

South Barn currently has a 10 year warranty on the project which can be transferred to the new owners subject to the completion of the construction work to an agreed standard.

Externally - The approach to South Barn is through a shared courtyard formerly part of Hall Farm. The entrance to the barn benefits from it's own vehicular access leading to a private west facing courtyard with a 2 bay open cart lodge. To the east side of the barn is a substantial garden which will benefit from far reaching views over adjoining farm land and countryside. The outside area is presently uncultivated and open plan with the adjoining converted barn next door.

Services - Mains water, sewerage and electricity are connected to the property.

Location - Hall Farm occupies a superb edge of village location. Approximately six miles north-east of Newmarket on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border, situated on the outskirts of the unspoilt village of Freckenham. Largely surrounded by farmland, the village has a public house, village hall and church. Chippenham Fen, a national nature reserve and the popular La Hogue Farm Shop and Café are located just outside the neighbouring village of Chippenham. The nearby towns of Newmarket, Ely and Bury St Edmunds offer a wide range of local facilities including shopping, hotels, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities, with health clubs, swimming pools and golf clubs. Cambridge is approximately eighteen miles away and has excellent schools, shopping and other facilities. There is easy access to the A14, A11 and M11 and via these to the national road network. There is a branch line connection from Newmarket to Cambridge and Ipswich. Cambridge, Cambridge North, Ely, Audley End and Whittlesford Parkway offer direct rail lines into London, with the fastest trains taking under one hour. Stansted International Airport is approximately an hour's drive.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
