Bolker Cottage offers a rare opportunity for development in the tranquil setting of Thorney, a village steeped in history dating back to the Saxon era. Nestled amidst the picturesque fens and just off the A47, it provides both serene rural living and convenient access to larger towns, including Peterborough, which is only 9 miles away. The village boasts historical landmarks such as Thorney Abbey, enhancing its charm.
The property comes with detailed planning permission (REF22/00757/FUL) allowing for the construction of a substantial two-storey dwelling, encompassing 2,789 square feet (259.1 m2) of living space alongside an ancillary triple-bay garage. The ground floor offers ample room at 138.8 m2 while the first floor provides an additional 120.3 m2.
Currently connected to mains electricity and water, any prospective buyer should verify service connections for their intended development. Planning permissions have been successfully implemented as of February 2025 following compliance with necessary conditions.
Ownership of the existing entrance off Thorney Dyke will remain with the vendor, ensuring continued access for future occupants. There's also potential to rent additional land adjacent to the property, providing further value for expansion or development.
Notably, buyers should be aware of seasonal restrictions regarding fire usage on-site from July through August.
