PlotArea
958 sqftDescription
A building plot in Fenstanton with full planning permission for a detached three-bedroom chalet-style home of approximately 1,270 sq ft. The approved proposal includes a ground-floor bedroom, kitchen, dining area and living room, with two further bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The plot is at the front of Pear Tree Close, facing Hilton Road, with open countryside nearby. The existing access and surfaced areas are visible in the listing photographs, but prospective purchasers should confirm what is included in the sale and the status of any existing structures.
Planning permission reference 26/00003/FUL was granted by Huntingdonshire District Council on 2 April 2026. The stated Community Infrastructure Levy liability is £18,038.30. The agent says the decision notice and preliminary drawings can be viewed at its office; purchasers should check the planning conditions, obligations, services, access and build costs independently.
Fenstanton has a village shop, post office, pubs, primary school and recreational areas. St Ives is nearby for additional amenities, and the A14 provides road connections towards Cambridge, Peterborough and the A1(M). Huntingdon railway station is stated to be around a 10 to 15 minute drive away, with services to London King's Cross. Viewings are by appointment through Oliver James in Huntingdon.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £140,000, this is a notably cheap way into Fenstanton: the asking price is about £146 per sq ft, compared with a local average of £327. The plot has defined boundaries, existing access and surfaced areas, plus a maintained garden and countryside outlook. Full planning permission is stated for a detached three-bedroom chalet-style home, giving buyers a clear route to create a new property rather than renovate an existing house.
The overall score is weaker because the available information does not establish the project economics, and the photographs show the plot rather than a completed dwelling. Before proceeding, check the planning permission and its conditions, implementation requirements, the status of the outbuilding and other plot features, and the stated CIL liability.
Key opportunities
- Acquire a defined plot with existing access and surfaced areas at a price well below the local average per square foot.
- Use the stated full planning permission for a detached three-bedroom chalet-style home as the starting point for creating a new property.
- Take advantage of the maintained garden, open countryside outlook and access to village amenities and commuter links.
Key risks
- Verify the planning permission, conditions and implementation requirements, and establish the costs and obligations associated with delivering the approved scheme.
- Confirm the ownership, condition and retention status of the existing outbuilding and other plot features.
- The available information is insufficient to judge the project economics; check the stated CIL liability and obtain a complete cost picture before committing.
