An attractive residential development opportunity to the south of Ipswich, offering around 5 acres of land (stms)
An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-located parcel of land extending to approximately 5 acres (stms), situated on the eastern edge of Wherstead. The site fronts Bourne Hill and adjoins established residential development, placing it in a highly sustainable and logical edge-of-settlement location. Brickyard Paddock benefits from close proximity to local village services and public transport links, with easy access to Ipswich to the north. At the same time, the land enjoys an attractive rural outlook with longer-range views across the surrounding countryside and towards the Orwell Estuary.
Tenure
Freehold
Planning & Development Potential
The site has been subject to professional planning and design consideration, supported by a detailed topographical survey to assess landform, levels and constraints. Published housing evidence indicates that Wherstead is expected to deliver approximately 32 new dwellings during the current plan period to 2035, highlighting an ongoing need for sensitively designed housing in sustainable village locations. Given its relationship to the existing built form, highway frontage and scale, Brickyard Paddock represents one of the most logical and defensible opportunities for future residential development, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The Opportunity
The site will appeal to SME and regional housebuilders, land promoters and investors seeking a strategic residential development opportunity on the Ipswich fringe, supported by clear policy logic and identified housing need. The land is offered for sale by auction, providing an opportunity to secure a well-positioned site with significant future planning and development potential.
Illustrative Scheme
An architect-led illustrative layout has been prepared to demonstrate how residential development could be accommodated in a comprehensive and landscape-led manner. The concept focuses development on the most suitable areas of the site, retaining steeper landform as landscape, open space and ecological buffer. The illustrative scheme indicates potential capacity for up to 31 dwellings, comprising a balanced mix of 2-4 bedroom dwellings. The layout is illustrative only and allows flexibility for an incoming purchaser to refine and progress a buyer-led scheme through the planning process.
Planning Disclaimer
No planning permission has been granted. All plans and illustrations are indicative only and are provided for guidance purposes. Any development would be subject to securing the necessary planning permissions.
