Bury Road, Thetford, Norfolk, IP24

The chance to acquire a unique development opportunity to convert a historic church into 5 dwellings. The Church of St Mary the Less can trace its foundation back to the 11th Century, with the fabric of the building predominantly from the 14th century and a rebuild in 19th century.

Full planning permission was granted in November 2024 to convert the property into five separate dwellings, retaining the structure of the existing building.

The property extends to approximately 0.97 acres (0.39 hectares) and is comprised of the church building and churchyard. It is bounded by Bury Road to the north and east, residential properties to the south, and St Mary's Court to the west, which provides vehicular access to the site.

The property is well screened by established trees around the perimeter. The churchyard has recently become overgrown with low-level vegetation and scrub.

Pedestrian access to the site can be taken from Bury Road. The proposed vehicle access to the site is taken from St Mary's Court.
