THE SITE:

The site is level and extends to appoximately 1 acre taken from Promap ordnance survey plans and comprises a disused modern utilitarian barn (originally a grain store).

The barn is a concrete-framed building with asbestos external cladding at upper levels and forming the roof. An internal metal clad structure provides internal walls at the lower levels.

The site is set back from a quiet country lane with excellent existing vehicular access via a private drive directly onto an unclassified road. While it is proposed to utilise this access, a further private sweeping driveway could be configured. The highway is located between the villages of Thurston End and Boxted. which ultimately leads to the A143 (Bury St Edmunds to Haverhill) and the B1066 (Bury St Edmunds to Long Melford).

To the south of the site is a converted barn and associated redundant barns at Fenstead End farmyard. Other than that, the property is surrounded by open countryside.

It is understood that the existing barn footprint measures approximately
121 sq m (1302 sq ft).
