A rare non-estate parcel on the edge of Littleport, this site offers a large plot with countryside views and outbuildings, ideal for a bespoke replacement home. The current derelict dwelling to the front is to be removed, leaving room for the proposed new build; planning reference 20/00384/FUL is on the East Cambridgeshire planning portal and should be checked by interested buyers.
A well-built 'workers' house remains on site providing immediate, flexible accommodation during any build or renovation. The setting is private and semi-rural, with fields to the rear and substantial garden and workshop/ barn space suitable for storage, hobby farming or conversion (subject to consents). Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal average, which supports remote working despite the rural location.
Buyers should note this is a renovation/new-build opportunity rather than a move-in-ready family home. The property needs renovation and the derelict front dwelling will be removed as part of redevelopment, so budgets should allow for demolition, planning checks, and building costs. The area ranks as deprived with higher local crime statistics, and tenure and council tax banding are unknown — these are important due-diligence items before offer.
For buyers looking to escape the estate envelope and design a spacious home in a secluded setting, this plot and its existing buildings offer significant potential. Check planning application 20/00384/FUL for scope and constraints, and arrange a site visit by appointment to assess access, services and the condition of existing structures.
