PlotArea
1023 sqftDescription
A development plot of approximately 0.15 acres in Somersham, backing onto open countryside. Outline planning permission was approved in June 2023 for a single-storey, three-bedroom bungalow of around 1,023 sq ft, but that permission has expired and a new application would be required. The sale is by private treaty, and purchasers should make their own enquiries about planning and the availability of services, which are believed to be nearby.
Somersham has a convenience store, café, pub and primary school. St Ives and Huntingdon provide further shopping, dining and leisure facilities. The A141 and A14 offer road connections towards Cambridge and beyond, while Huntingdon station provides rail services to London. Viewings are by appointment through Carter Jonas New Homes, Cambridge.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £165,000, this is a notably cheap acquisition against the local £/sqf benchmark, with a 0.15-acre plot backing onto open countryside in a village with everyday amenities. It is a land-led opportunity rather than a house renovation: no completed dwelling is visible in the photos, and the previous outline permission for a three-bedroom bungalow has expired, so a new planning application would be needed.
The appeal is the chance to shape a single-storey home and its setting from the ground up. The overgrown site and weathered hardstanding make this a substantial site-preparation and build programme, not a cosmetic refresh; services and planning will need careful due diligence.
Key opportunities
- Create a single-storey home tailored to your needs, with the listing describing a previous outline scheme for a three-bedroom bungalow.
- Make use of the approximately 0.15-acre plot backing onto open countryside, with mature trees and boundary fencing already visible.
- The asking price is substantially below the local £/sqf benchmark, offering an opportunity to acquire the site at a low entry price.
Key risks
- Overgrown land, weathered hardstanding and no visible completed dwelling point to a ground-up build and site-clearance programme; plan for a substantial project rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The previous outline permission has expired, so a new application is required and the outcome is uncertain; the availability of services also needs due diligence.
