Description
Planning Permission for Pear Tree Barn was originally granted on 9th January 2018 providing for the conversion of five existing agricultural buildings to form three dwellings – Reference: DC/17/1339/FUL.  Thereafter the planning permission was varied to create two independent dwellings – Pear Tree Barn – the subject property – and The Fold, which is owned separately – Reference: DC/21/2105.  Extracts of the consented plans for Pear Tree Barn are included within these sales particulars.  

The proposed conversion will extend to approximately 2,700 sq ft (250 sqm) with the accommodation comprising a stunning, open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room that runs the length of the building, together with a utility/boot room, walk-in larder/store and cloakroom.  At the far end of the barn it is proposed that a staircase will rise to a mezzanine area that will overlook the ground floor accommodation.  From the principal barn a glazed link will connect with the bedroom accommodation, that will offer a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

It is intended that there will be a parking and turning area to the front of the property, over part of which The Fold will have access rights. The gardens and grounds extend to the side and rear, and, facing in a westerly direction, these will enjoy the sun throughout the second half of the day.  In all, the gardens and grounds will extend to approximately 2.84 acres (1.15 hectares).  

Works to Date
The vendors have undertaken considerable works to the structure during the last 12 to 18 months which include almost completely re-roofing the main range, commissioning and installing the bespoke windows and doors, installing studwalls prior to insulating and dry-lining and installing the suspended floor.  During the works the Building Control department of  East Suffolk Council have been notified at appropriate stages to inspect the works to the roof.  The full Building Regulation application fee has been paid by the vendors.

The remaining materials on site, together with the scaffolding, are available by separate negotiation. 

Services
We are advised that new independent mains electricity and water connections have been made.  Drainage will be to a new private treatment plant.
