Property With LandDescription
A freehold site of more than half an acre between Buntingford and Hare Street, offered with implemented full planning permission for a contemporary, single-storey four-bedroom home. The former bungalow and outbuildings have been demolished and material works have begun, implementing the consent granted under reference 3/21/2436/FUL. The approved design includes level accommodation intended to support step-free access, with an environmentally conscious specification and plans prepared by RIBA award-winning architects. The current developers are willing to discuss carrying out the build, subject to agreed terms and specification, allowing a purchaser to consider a tailored finish. Buntingford's shops, cafés, pubs and schools are nearby. Rail services are available from Ware and Royston, and the A10 provides road links towards Cambridge and London. The surrounding area has countryside footpaths and bridleways, with several golf courses within reach.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial plot with implemented planning permission for an architect-designed, single-storey four-bedroom home, offering scope to shape a contemporary, energy-conscious and step-free property in a countryside setting. The aerial images show a cleared but unfinished site, with groundwork and remnants of hardstanding; the house and landscaped garden shown are visualisations, not completed features. The asking price is £425,000, but floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The overall WHOTS score is 43/100, grade E: the location and fundamentals are positives, while the project’s scale and limited information on value and renovation economics hold back the opportunity. Confirm the planning details and remaining build and site-work scope; the developers may also be willing to complete the build on agreed terms and specification.
Key opportunities
- Create the consented single-storey, four-bedroom home, with level living that can be tailored for step-free access and future mobility needs.
- Shape the proposed contemporary, energy-conscious design and associated site works to suit your specification; the developers may be willing to undertake the build on agreed terms.
- Make use of the substantial countryside plot and the planned garden setting, with Buntingford, rail connections and country walks within reach.
Key risks
- Cleared, unfinished site and a heavy build programme — plan time and cash for constructing the dwelling and completing the associated site works, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
