LandDescription
A development plot in the Fenland village of Turves, around 3.5 miles from Whittlesey, 5 miles from March and 9 miles from Peterborough. Full planning consent was granted for a pair of two-storey, three-bedroom semi-detached houses, and the consent is stated to have been implemented through the installation of piles. A subsequent application to discharge the materials condition was approved. The planning documents are available from the agent or through Fenland District Council.
Access is proposed from March Road, and the purchaser will be responsible for boundary fencing. Mains electricity and water are understood to be available nearby; prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries about drainage and utility connections. Vacant possession is to be given on completion. Viewings are by appointment through Maxey Grounds.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a construction project rather than a renovation: the cleared, fenced plot has planning consent for two two-storey, three-bedroom semi-detached houses, and the listing says piles have been installed. That gives a buyer a defined scheme to investigate and build on, but the photographs show no completed dwelling, so delivery of the homes is the central undertaking. The consent dates from 2020; check its current status and the technical suitability of the existing piles before proceeding.
The £125,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing, and there is no renovation range to assess the build economics. The E grade reflects the limited evidence on value and economics, alongside the scale of the work—not a completed home ready for improvement.
Key opportunities
- Develop the consented pair of two-storey, three-bedroom semi-detached houses, subject to checking the consent remains usable.
- Shape the proposed homes and finish to suit the scheme, with the existing piles potentially providing a starting point if their suitability is verified.
- Create the site's residential setting from the cleared, gravelled plot, including boundary fencing and landscaping.
Key risks
- Building two homes from a cleared, fenced plot is a substantial construction programme and budget commitment, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Verify the current planning position and obtain technical confirmation that the installed piles are suitable for the consented scheme.
- The £125,000 asking price cannot be compared with local £/sqf without a usable floor area, and build economics cannot be assessed without a works estimate.
