Particulars for Top Farm, Alphamstone Road, Lamarsh, BURES , CO8 5EZ

Top Farm is a truly exceptional property. The wonderfully situated grounds of approaching 27 acres are situated on the western slopes of the Stour Valley in an area of Exceptional Landscape Importance. The grounds comprise open grassland and a mixture of mature oak woodland and younger mixed woods enclosed by mature and ancient hedgerows. Located at the northern end of the site, at the lowest level, is an area of large level meadowland. Barn/studio

The barn/studio was constructed originally as an artist studio and will require considerable work to bring it up to full modern residential standards. The property has a gross internal floor area of approximately 1991 sq.ft. The building is laid out as a specialist artist residence but offers great scope for conversion. There is a large studio living room which connects to the kitchen with steps leading down to a basement area with bathroom. The kitchen opens into a further living room area with access to bathroom and utility/store room. Beyond this is a ground floor bedroom/study and approached by two separate staircases are bedrooms located on the first floor. The property will require thorough refurbishment to bring it up to full modern residential standards but offers great scope for further extension and development. Planning history

In 2009 planning was granted for the use of the barn studio as a single dwelling house under a Certificate of Lawful existing use (Ref 09/01396/ELD) and full details of this application are available from the agents. Subsequently planning consent was grated for the construction of the present access track to the property granted under

application 14/00504/FUL.

27 acres of beautiful unspoilt Stour Valley countryside


Description of the site

On entering the site one passes through a wide level area of open grassland on the access track which passes through the large old established hedgerow containing a selection of various trees, etc. The site steepens with the gravel track running down in an extremely attractive glade of open grassland between mature oak woodland to the east and the established old hedgerow to the west. The track passes on down to the parking and turning area situated alongside the barn studio which is located at the bottom on the site. A track leads through to the large level meadow area which lies at the northern extremity of the site. The undulations of the site reflect its geological history - the area forming part of a terminal moraine left over from the Ice Age. This feature gives a very unusual characteristic to the site from which there are stunning views to the north up the Stour

Valley towards Sudbury.
