Pop star Ed Sheeran applies to convert barns at a 17th-century farm near his Suffolk home into a “music archive,” according to reports. The proposed plans cover barns at a 400-year-old Grade II listed property that Sheeran bought about two years ago, close to his 16-acre home in Suffolk. The reported cost for the conversion is £1.1 million. The sources describe the application as aimed at creating an archive space associated with Sheeran’s music, while retaining the character of the listed farm. As the farm is Grade II listed, the proposal is subject to relevant planning and heritage considerations. The reports do not specify whether the plans have been approved or are currently under review, nor do they detail how the archive would be operated or accessed. The applications relate to a rural property setting and the adaptive reuse of existing farm structures rather than new development on land elsewhere.
