Description

ONLY TWO PLOTS REMAINING AT THE AVIARY

With three of the original five plots now no longer available, just two opportunities remain to create an individually designed home at The Aviary, an exclusive collection of self/custom build plots in the sought-after South Cambridgeshire village of Fowlmere.

Custom Build Homes is delighted to offer this generous plot of approximately 8,700 sq ft, enjoying an attractive countryside setting with views across the surrounding open fields.

This rare opportunity gives buyers exceptional scope to create their own bespoke 5-bedroom detached home, with the freedom to work with their preferred architect and develop a design tailored to their lifestyle, requirements and architectural preferences.

The example 5-bedroom home shown within the marketing demonstrates just one possibility for Plot 3. It illustrates the potential for generous contemporary family living, including spacious living areas, flexible ground-floor accommodation and well-planned bedroom space.

The plot offers an excellent opportunity to create a striking individual home with strong kerb appeal. Contemporary architecture, clean architectural lines and extensive glazing could all be explored to maximise natural light, countryside views and the connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Outside, the approximately 8,700 sq ft plot provides excellent scope for landscaped gardens, entertaining areas and additional features such as terraces, garden studios or play spaces, subject to the necessary planning approvals.

A significant Stamp Duty saving of up to £59,000 may also be achievable under current rules when purchasing the plot rather than a completed home.

With only two of the original five plots now remaining, opportunities to secure a plot at this exclusive development are becoming increasingly limited.

Contact Custom Build Homes today to arrange your on-site visit and discover what you could create on Plot 3 at The Aviary.

Important Information - Section 106 Agreement

All plots at The Aviary are designated for self-build or custom-build homes under the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015. Each dwelling must be occupied by the self/custom builder for a minimum of three years from first occupation (the "Protected Occupation Period").

The house design shown is illustrative. The final design is for the purchaser to develop with their appointed architect and will be subject to the relevant planning requirements and approval by South Cambridgeshire District Council.

A Stamp Duty saving of up to £59,000 may be achievable under current rules when purchasing the plot. Purchasers should obtain independent professional advice regarding their individual tax position.
