This fully serviced, self-build plot in Caxton offers a rare chance to deliver a substantial new home in a quiet village setting. Outline planning permission for the nine-plot development was granted on appeal and communal reserved matters (access and landscaping) approved, so utilities, access and shared areas are largely in place. The advertised plot area is very large, suitable for a detached house with double garage and generous garden, and the price reflects plot-only purchase for a new build opportunity.
The site benefits from a semi-rural outlook, mature trees on the south-east boundary, low local crime and fast broadband — features that suit families or buyers seeking countryside living within easy reach of Cambridge and local schools. Pre-commencement planning conditions for the overall site have been discharged, but purchasers must submit and obtain reserved matters approval for their individual plot before building can start.
Important constraints and practical points are clear: reserved matters for individual plots must be submitted by 1 August 2026, and development can only begin once those matters and any plot-specific conditions are approved. Archaeological works are already underway. The listing records one bedroom and one bathroom alongside a total floor area figure; buyers should verify intended accommodation and design parameters when preparing their reserved matters application.
This plot is best suited to a buyer experienced in self-build or comfortable engaging architects and planners promptly. The development offers strong potential to create a high-spec family home with private garden and double garage, but it requires active management of the planning process and any remaining site matters before construction can commence.
