Description

This property presents a rare development opportunity on a spacious 0.21-acre site in one of Cambridge's desirable neighborhoods, complete with granted full planning permission for a significant detached family home featuring five bedrooms. Ideal for self-builders or investors, this site allows for the construction of a modern residence tailored to individual tastes and needs. The approved architectural plans by Cameron Bosque Brookes Architects propose key design elements including an expansive open-plan kitchen and living area, utility space, and a practical boot room. The layout also introduces versatile bedroom options on the first floor, each benefiting from generous dimensions and ensuite facilities. Additionally, the revised design includes enhancements like a two-storey front extension and contemporary exterior materials such as brick, stone, and grey aluminium finishes. Situated close to essential amenities and excellent educational institutions, along with easy access to transport links such as the M11 and regular train services into London, this plot is perfectly positioned for both family living and investment potential. With local parks nearby for recreation, this site offers not just a place to build but an opportunity to create a bespoke home in an increasingly popular area of Cambridge.
