Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a centrally located development site in the sought-after market town of St Ives, Cambridgeshire. Originally purchased as office blocks, this property benefits from full planning permission to convert the existing buildings into four individual two-bedroom homes.

Work has already commenced, providing an excellent head start for investors or developers looking to complete the project. With the development partway through, a prospective buyer now has the chance to add their own style and finish, tailoring the interiors and final specification to suit their vision.

Each planned dwelling will offer two bedrooms, modern living spaces, and the benefit of being situated just moments from St Ives’ charming town centre, with its array of shops, cafes, and amenities, as well as excellent transport links to Cambridge and surrounding areas.

Please note that services will need to be connected to each dwelling, allowing the next owner to complete the works and bring this exciting project to life.

This is a fantastic opportunity to create a bespoke collection of town centre homes in one of Cambridgeshire’s most desirable market towns.
