Description
The Oaks presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of only two plots measuring approximately 1 acre benefitting from full planning for a detached 3-bedroom bungalow with associated garage and access, offering an ideal self-build opportunity in a highly desirable countryside setting.
Beyond the consented scheme, the size and configuration of the plot may offer scope for alternative or additional development, subject to planning.
The location combines the appeal of a rural Cambridgeshire village with convenient access to nearby market towns and Cambridge, making it suitable for a range of residential development options, from private homes to smallscale schemes.
