A rare development parcel in Cottenham with outline consent for up to seven self-build detached homes. The 0.71-acre freehold site sits on the town fringe, six miles from Cambridge, and benefits from approved access from Clarke Close—only matters of layout, scale and appearance remain reserved.
This site will suit small developers, self-build syndicates or investors targeting village-family housing. The perimeter hedgerows and existing open lawn provide a pleasant setting and scope for private gardens and communal green space; the planning permission also anticipates associated garaging and internal access. Local amenities and good primary/secondary schools add to rental and sales appeal.
Important practical points: the consent is outline only (23/01377/OUT, granted 31 Oct 2023) so detailed consent will be required for layout and design. Services have not been tested and buyers must verify utility provision and costs. Broadband is currently slow and the local area is described as ageing rural neighbourhoods, which may influence market positioning. View financial viability carefully and request GDV estimates and technical reports before committing.
