Description

Here is a summarized version of the property description in a single paragraph:

The historic Church of St Mary the Less in Thetford, dating back to the 11th century, offers a unique development opportunity to convert the building into five dwellings. Full planning permission was granted in November 2024 to retain the structure of the existing building, which has undergone various additions and repairs over the centuries. The property, which was purchased by Freeman Historic Properties Ltd in 2014, has undergone some repair work and is now ready for development. The site extends to approximately 0.97 acres and is situated in the historic market town of Thetford, with easy access to local amenities, transport links, and outdoor recreation areas. The proposed development features four three-bedroom houses and a two-bedroom house within the church tower, with each dwelling having its own access. The property is being sold Freehold with vacant possession on completion, subject to public and private rights of way, wayleaves, and easements.
