A three-bedroom semi-detached house in Burwell with genuine development potential. The generous rear garden has planning permission (refs 24/00022/FUL and 24/00022/REFAPP) for a detached single-storey bungalow, creating scope for a new-build plot while retaining the existing home. The front offers off-street parking for several cars and vehicular access can be reconfigured to serve the proposed development.
The house is of non-standard system-built construction and double-glazed windows were fitted before 2002. These facts may limit standard mortgage options and mean additional maintenance or upgrading is needed, particularly wall insulation and some exterior repairs. The garage/utility section may need partial dismantling to provide access for the new build.
Internally the layout is practical: entrance hall, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, utility/cloakroom and three first-floor bedrooms with a family bathroom. The property is currently empty and could achieve a short-term rental of around £1,400pcm, offering immediate income while planning is implemented.
Burwell is a popular village with everyday amenities, good primary schools and straightforward access to Newmarket and Cambridge. Services are connected; Openreach reports download speeds up to 76Mbps (15Mbps upload), mobile signal is average, and local crime is low. Prospective buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice because of the construction type and consider the cost of necessary upgrades when valuing the opportunity.
