Description

This is a compelling opportunity to purchase a freehold building plot strategically located on West Fen Road, which is just a short distance from the vibrant city centre of Ely. The plot has received full planning permission as of June 2020 (Ref: 20/00516/FUL) from East Cambridgeshire District Council, with some conditions already discharged in June 2023. The groundwork has already begun, including the installation of foul drainage, making this an appealing option for those looking to invest in a contemporary family home. The planned residence will be a spacious and modern two-storey home spanning approximately 1,785 sq ft. The design encompasses crucial spaces for family living, featuring three generous bedrooms and flexible areas such as a dedicated study and an open-plan kitchen/dining room that leads to a bright living room with garden access. Set on about 0.13 acres, there's ample scope for creating private outdoor space complete with garden and driveway facilities—ideal for enhancing your lifestyle. Furthermore, essential services like mains water, electricity, gas, and drainage are available nearby. The location itself offers a rare combination of tranquility and accessibility. Not only does Ely boast historical charm with its renowned cathedral and scenic riverside walks, but it also provides excellent links to major urban areas including Cambridge and London via train or road. This combination makes the investment here particularly attractive for families and professionals alike seeking both comfort and convenience.
