Summary - WESTWIND HIGHFIELDS ROAD HIGHFIELDS CALDECOTE CAMBRIDGE CB23 7NX
4 bed 4 bath Bungalow
About 1.5 acres with consent to build six detached dwellings near Cambridge.
Full planning permission for six detached dwellings (ref: 24/01754/FUL)
A rare development opportunity in Highfields Caldecote: about 1.5 acres with full planning permission (ref: 24/01754/FUL) to replace the existing single-storey house with six detached dwellings. The current detached bungalow (Westwind) extends to around 3,000 sq ft, is chain free and in excellent condition, offering immediate occupation or short-term holding while detailed pre-commencement matters are completed.
The approved scheme is for four large houses of about 2,775 sq ft and two two-bedroom bungalows — a clear value-driving consent in a very affluent, low-deprivation area. The site’s size, rural outlook and generous driveway/garage parking make it appealing to builders, developers, and investors aiming for high-spec family homes in a sought-after village fringe location.
Important buyer responsibilities and constraints are attached to the plot: some services are present but buyers must verify availability and fund connections; the purchaser must covenant to construct the consented scheme (non-material internal amendments may be considered); temporary accommodation is prohibited; and site fencing must be erected within two weeks of completion. Buyers should also investigate East West Rail implications, satisfy planning pre-commencement conditions, and confirm resale values for the finished homes.
The existing bungalow itself suits a large family seeking single-level living: vaulted living room, large kitchen with island, utility and boot room, study, dressing room, four bedrooms (two en-suite) and multiple reception rooms. Note practical considerations: council tax is relatively high, local crime rates are above average, and some service connections may require additional expenditure.
