Thrapston Road, Ellington, PE28

Description

A Unique Development Opportunity

A rare opportunity to acquire a residential development plot with planning permission granted for a four-bedroom dwelling with a garage, located on Thrapston Road in the village of Ellington.

Ellington is a small Cambridgeshire village set within easy reach of larger centres including Huntingdon and St Neots. The plot offers buyers the chance to create a bespoke four-bedroom home in a village setting while still benefitting from nearby facilities in neighbouring towns.

The village has a traditional rural feel, with access to local footpaths and countryside walks. Nearby, Grafham Water provides opportunities for walking, cycling and sailing, and there are further leisure and shopping facilities available in Huntingdon and St Neots.

Transport links are a key advantage of this location. Huntingdon railway station is accessible by road and offers services to London King’s Cross and Peterborough, making the plot suitable for those needing rail access to major centres. The A14 and A1 road networks are also within driving distance, providing connections towards Cambridge, Peterborough and the Midlands.

Local schooling options are available in surrounding villages and towns, with primary and secondary schools accessible by car or school transport from Ellington.

This detached land plot for sale will appeal to purchasers looking for a self-build or custom-build opportunity, with the benefit of planning permission already in place for a four-bedroom dwelling with garage, subject to the approved plans and conditions.

Land Disclaimer

Please note, the plot of land will be tidied prior to purchase completing.
