Lambs Lane, Cottenham, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB24

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of three fully consented self-build/custom-build plots in the highly sought-after village of Cottenham, just 6 miles north of Cambridge.

Full planning permission (South Cambridgeshire District Council ref: 25/03798/FUL) has been granted for three detached four-bedroom, two-bathroom chalet bungalows, each benefiting from private gardens, landscaping, off-street parking and secure bike storage.

Proposed gross internal areas range from approximately 1,507 sq. ft to 2,040 sq. ft*, offering spacious and flexible accommodation ideal for modern family living.

These serviced plots provide an exciting chance to design and build a bespoke home tailored to your individual requirements. A full design and build service is available, with the option to incorporate a range of energy-efficient and cost-saving technologies.

Plot prices range from £290,000 to £345,000*, with estimated build costs from £330,000 to £445,000**. Estimated end values are projected between £650,000 and £825,000***, offering strong potential in a well-established and desirable village location.

The landowner will install the estate road and provide serviced plots with connection to the main sewer for foul drainage. The cost of these works (guide c. £x) will be shared equally between the three plots and is payable upon completion of the plot purchase. Surface water drainage will be the responsibility of the incoming buyer in accordance with the approved drainage strategy.

Cottenham is one of Cambridgeshire’s largest and most well-served villages, offering a wide range of amenities including shops, cafés, public houses, GP surgery and schooling, including Cottenham Village College. The A14, A10 and M11 are all within easy reach, providing excellent road links, while mainline rail services from Cambridge offer direct routes to London.

Surrounded by attractive open countryside, yet within easy reach of Cambridge’s employment hubs, universities and leisure facilities, 70 Lambs Lane presents a superb opportunity to create a high-quality home in a thriving and well-connected community.
