Planning permission has been granted for a detached two-storey home extending to approximately 1,560 sq ft, set within an attractive plot in the sought-after Suffolk village of Raydon.

The proposed dwelling will enjoy open countryside views to the rear and has been carefully designed to sit comfortably within the character of the surrounding street.

The approved layout includes two spacious bedrooms on the first floor, one benefitting from an en-suite shower room, together with a well-proportioned family bathroom.

At ground floor level, the design allows for generous open-plan living areas, in addition to a home office and a separate sitting room.
