A parcel of amenity land with stable block and haystore extending to approximately 3.1 acres (1.25 hectares) with planning permission for the siting of 6 holiday lodges, associated buildings and landscaping in a delightful rural location on the edge of Hasketon and close to the popular market town of Woodbridge.

Location
The site will be found along Boulge Road, just to the north of the popular rural village of Hasketon.  Hasketon lies a short distance from the historic market town of Woodbridge on the banks of the River Deben. Woodbridge has an extensive range of shops, restaurants, public houses and recreational facilities along with an excellent Marina.  The town is sometimes considered the ‘gateway’ to the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is criss-crossed by many public footpaths and other public rights of way including the Sandlings Coastal Path and Cycle Route.  Just outside Melton is the World Heritage Site of Sutton Hoo.  
The Heritage Coast lies within about 13 miles with popular centres such as Orford, Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Walberswick and Southwold, and offers a further choice of recreational facilities.  
The site has easy access to the A12, which provides largely dual carriageway driving to London and the south. The County Town of Ipswich, offering a good range of shopping and recreational facilities, including its popular marina area, is about 8 miles to the south-west and from here there are fast Inter-city rail services to London’s Liverpool Street station, which are scheduled to take just over the hour. 

Directions
Proceeding north along the Woodbridge A12 bypass, continue past the Shell garage, taking the third turning on the left into Manor Road. Take the next turning on the right where signposted to Hasketon and continue into the village.  Proceed through the village out on to the Boulge Road and the property is situated on the right hand side, shortly before Highfield House Farm.

Description
Planning permission was granted by East Suffolk Council on 24th January 2025 (Reference DC/24/2250/FUL) for the siting of 6 holiday lodges and associated landscaping.  A copy of the planning permission, together with extracts of the consented plans, is included within these particulars.  The planning permission provides for the siting of 6 holiday lodges on site, together with the conversion of the existing buildings to create ancillary facilities such as a garden machinery store, games room, bike store, office and site shop.  The proposed bike store and office could potentially be converted to provide another lodge, subject to the necessary consents.

The existing access to the site will be retained and repurposed.  From this a driveway will connect to the ancillary buildings and communal parking area serving the lodges.  It is proposed that the lodges will be positioned within the western half of the site, with the eastern half providing a central open space with a fish pond, tree groups, wildflower margins and grassed areas for informal recreation/amenity space.  

With the planning permission providing for holiday letting accommodation and for no other purposes, the duration of occupation by any one person, or persons, of any of the holiday units shall not exceed a period of 56 days in total in any one calendar year, unless the local planning authority agrees to any variation. 

Community Infrastructure Levy
We understand that there is no Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) associated with this planning permission.  

Biodiversity Net Gain
This permission is considered to be one that will require the approval of a Biodiversity Gain Plan before development can begin.  

Services
We understand that mains water is available in the public highway, and that foul drainage will be to new private drainage systems on site.  Electricity is available nearby overhead, and the vendor has obtained estimates from UK Power Networks for a new supply via a new transformer or substation on site that will be retained by UKPN for which there are estimate quotations available ranging from £12,000 to £12,500 plus VAT.  Copies of the quotation are available on request.  Please note, however, that prospective purchasers will need to satisfy themselves in relation to the location and capacity of services.
