| |
Restoration and conversion specialist, City & Country Group has received planning permission to enhance its original conversion plans at Herringswell Manor, an impressive Grade II listed manor house located on the fringes of the Suffolk Village of Herringswell, creating a total of 52 apartments and cottages. The new proposals will provide an exciting and more appropriate mix of accommodation that befits this magnificent historic site and caters for the increasing market demand for high quality accommodation in historic and mature landscapes.
Dating back to 1901, the manor house is set in 8.4 acres and was built in a mock Tudor style. Starting as a family home, the manor was converted into a boarding school and more recently, the Shi Tennoji Japanese School was located here until its closure in 2001. The new plans include additional homes in the former dormitories providing 30 stunning two and three bedroom apartments, the conversion of the Japanese temple into four houses as well as the conversion of the Archery Court into a beautiful three bedroom house.
Tim Sargeant, Chief Executive of City & Country Group, comments: “This recent planning decision will provide homes of the utmost quality in this increasingly popular and rural East Anglian location. The additional homes bring previously developed land and buildings back into beneficial use, in line with national and local development policies, without affecting the architectural integrity of this important manor house. As a company, we are committed to the preservation and restoration of historical buildings and aim to ensure renewed life for Herringswell Manor for the enjoyment of future generations.”
Herringswell Manor has just launched to the public. Prices are from £245,000. For further information, contact City & Country Group on telephone: 01279 818 900 or visit: www.herringswellmanor.co.uk.
