Unique opportunity to purchase Grade I Listed property and barn with planning
Description
The Music Room is a highly unique opportunity to purchase a Grade I Listed property designed by the renowned Sir John Soane, well known for his work on the Bank of England. The property also features an unconverted barn with planning permission currently in place to be transformed into annexe accommodation, and via additional lots both a historic walled garden and separate Garden Cottage bungalow.
Subject to the necessary planning the property offers immense potential to transform and create a stunning home which could blend Georgian elegance with a modern twist.
The Music Room has been converted and extended to offer a kitchen/dining room, stunning sitting room, two bedrooms and a family shower room as well as mezzanine level above which could be an ideal study space. The separate barn has had some works started to begin a conversion but is still at a stage where a purchaser could look to alter the current planning if desired and granted. Within the barn is a Blackstone oil engine 13hp that we believe hasn't been used since 1974 and could be of note to a collector.
Outside
The property is approached via a farm track which then leads to the property and a large front area which could be utilised for parking. The gardens and grounds wrap around the property and feature what is believed to be one of the first Portuguese laurel avenues in England. The property will require terracing and a driveway to be completed. The gardens benefit from a great amount of natural privacy and the walled garden formerly belonging to Earsham Hall allows for an incredibly rare opportunity to landscape a wonderful space should a buyer decide to purchase the additional lot.
Additional lots
1. Walled Gardens available by separate negotiation at £100,000
2. The Garden Cottage bungalow by separate negotiation at £150,000. This is of non-standard construction
Location
Situated alongside Earsham Hall with its array of small businesses including the well regarded tea rooms, the property enjoys a wonderful country position.
Earsham is a small village comprising a 14th century church and an excellent and highly regarded village primary school. There is also a 17th century public house. In Bungay there are a selection of boutique shops, restaurants, post office, a supermarket, medical centre, dentist, banks and hairdressers. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool complex, an 18 hole golf course, cricket club and The Fisher theatre. The thriving city of Norwich is about 14 miles away has a comprehensive choice of schools, theatres and entertainment, cultural and leisure activities for most tastes. Rail services from Diss ( about 16 miles away) to London Liverpool Street take approximately 90 minutes.
