Price £500,000
Tenure Freehold

A rare chance to purchase a building plot on the outskirts of Cambridge, located in this popular village, offering a superb opportunity to construct your own home, tailoring the internal finishes to your own tastes and needs.

Positioned in one of the area’s most desirable villages, close to Shelford Rugby Club and just minutes from Cambridge, this development opportunity is offered for sale with the benefit of a full planning permission.

  • Overview

    The planning consent allows for the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new home which can be internally finished and styled to your own tastes and needs. The design of the home and the exterior specification all form part of the planning consent and has been designed to reflect a high quality and blend in with the attractive street scene.

    The plot has full planning permission for a 1,800 sq ft (167 sqm) detached Georgian styled home, complete with a separate 400 sq ft (37 sqm) annex positioned at the end of the garden.

    PLANNING

    The site is located within the jurisdiction of South Cambridgeshire District Council. Full planning permission was granted on 18/03/2025 under application reference number 24/03891/FUL, for the ‘demolition of existing single storey dwelling and the construction of a two storey replacement dwelling and single storey ancillary annex with associated landscaping’.

    The proposed site plan and floor plans are detailed below and further information is available on the South Cambridgeshire planning portal - full web address in the brochure.
