Description

This is a seldom-seen opportunity to acquire approximately one-third of an acre in a prime location off Histon High Street, featuring two single-storey properties which present significant refurbishment and rental prospects while planning permissions are pursued. The land has been cherished by the current family for over eight decades, making it not just a piece of real estate, but a slice of history ripe for redevelopment. The first property, designated as 26a, comprises three bedrooms and boasts an expansive front garden, while the second property at 26b offers two bedrooms along with two bathrooms. Both homes are situated near amenities like supermarkets and eateries, and benefit from good transport links into Cambridge. Initial planning consultations suggest that this site could support the construction of four new homes after demolition of the existing bungalows, currently known as Lilac Lodge and Kiwi Cottage. This potential redevelopment aligns with recent developments in the area, including similar successful projects nearby. Furthermore, the existing properties could be utilized as rental units or serve as temporary accommodations throughout the development process. With mains services already in place and no restrictions on future building clauses, this site holds remarkable investment potential in a fast-evolving locale.
