Description
REFURBISHMENT OPPORTUNITY WITH SCOPE TO EXTEND AND NESTLED IN A LARGE BUILDING PLOT WITH POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT (SUBJECT TO PLANNING CONSENT), IDEALLY SITUATED CLOSE TO HISTORIC CATHEDRAL TOWN OF BURY ST. EDMUNDS.
Available on the market for the first time in seventy years, this is an opportunity to take great advantage of a Blank Canvas; ripe for development with refurbishment, extension, and additional buildings - subject to planning consent.
The pre-existing property is enclosed within a distinguished, idyllic, 0.40 Acre plot, with separate access into both the front garden and garages.
LOCATION:
The plot lies on the edge of a semi-rural and much favoured village of Lackford – only six miles north-west of the fine Suffolk cathedral town of Bury St. Edmunds. The University City of Cambridge is easily reached via the A14 east-west major road link, which is accessed via neighbouring Risby village to facilitate commuting ease, and with the M11 providing a fast route to London. Nearby to both Lackford Lakes and Cavenham Heath.
