Long Sutton, England PE12 9EN

Occupying a peaceful, semi-rural position in the south-eastern corner of Lincolnshire, close to the borders of Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, where the River Nene meets The Wash, Maze Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 1.75 acres with full planning permission (Reference: H18-0953-25) for the conversion of a traditional agricultural barn into an exceptional four-bedroom country residence. Set amidst unspoilt countryside where vast open landscapes meet expansive skies, the site enjoys a sense of peace and seclusion, whilst remaining surprisingly well connected. The A17 is less than three miles away, providing convenient access to the historic Hanseatic town of King's Lynn in under 30 minutes and the Cathedral City of Peterborough in approximately 45 minutes, where high-speed rail services reach London King's Cross in around 46 minutes. The approved plans have been thoughtfully designed to create an elegant, light-filled family home that embraces its idyllic surroundings. A sweeping driveway will approach the property, leading to a generous parking area and creating an impressive arrival. From here, a short flight of steps is designed to ascend to the front entrance, opening into a bright and spacious reception hall that sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. The proposed design incorporates extensive glazing, including bi-fold and French doors, ensuring the principal living spaces enjoy an abundance of natural light while seamlessly connecting with the gardens and countryside beyond. At the heart of the home is a superb dual-aspect open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, carefully designed to maximise views across the gardens, paddocks and surrounding farmland. A separate utility room is positioned adjacent to the kitchen, providing practical everyday convenience. The approved ground floor layout also includes a spacious triple-aspect sitting room, a dedicated study ideal for home working, a cloakroom/WC, plant room and a secondary entrance serving the utility area. On the first floor, the plans provide for an impressive galleried landing with a large feature window flooding the space with natural light. Four well-proportioned bedrooms are proposed, together with a family bathroom. The principal suite has been designed to include a generous dressing room, en-suite bathroom and a Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and open countryside, creating a wonderful retreat from which to enjoy the changing seasons. Externally, the approved scheme allows for beautifully landscaped gardens extending principally to the front and side of the property, complemented by a substantial paved terrace to the rear, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the far-reaching rural views and accessed directly from both the kitchen/family room and the sitting room. Beyond the formal gardens, the remaining land is intended to be enclosed by post-and-rail fencing to create approximately an acre of paddocks, making the property particularly appealing to those with hobby equestrian interests, small livestock or simply a desire for additional outdoor space. Despite its wonderfully rural setting, Maze Farm is conveniently located approximately six minutes from both Long Sutton and Sutton Bridge, where a range of independent shops, supermarkets and everyday amenities can be found. The property falls within the catchment area for the highly regarded selective grammar schools in Spalding, including Spalding High School for girls and Spalding Grammar School for boys, both renowned for their excellent academic standards and outstanding sixth forms. School transport is available from Sutton Bridge. Additional educational options include the highly respected Wisbech Grammar School, approximately 15 minutes away, together with Ayscoughfee Hall School in Spalding. The surrounding landscape is one of the area's defining attractions. Maze Farm lies close to The Wash National Nature Reserve, England's largest National Nature Reserve, extendi
