Design and build your own three-bedroom home in a desirable Colney Heath development..
Outline consent for 10 self-build plots, each suitable for a three-bedroom home
An uncommon chance to buy one of 10 self-build plots within the Colney Manor development in Colney Heath. Each plot has outline consent and indicative designs for a three-bedroom detached home, giving buyers genuine scope to create a bespoke family house tailored to their needs and budget. The site sits in an affluent, low-crime village setting with good mobile and broadband connectivity and easy access to nearby schools and green space.
These plots are offered freehold with decent individual plot sizes, private parking/garage provision shown in the scheme, and no identified flood risk. The key benefits are design freedom, potential cost-control versus buying a finished new build, and the chance to choose finishes and layout to suit a growing family. Indicative images show contemporary two-storey brick homes around landscaped communal greens, reflecting the development character.
Buyers must submit a detailed planning application before construction; outline consent does not guarantee final approval. Expect the usual self-build implications: managing or appointing contractors, securing approvals and finance, and meeting planning conditions. There are no finished houses on the plots — purchasers should budget for construction costs, build programme, professional fees and local authority requirements.
This opportunity suits buyers who want control over design and specification and who are prepared for the time, cost and project management a self-build requires. If you want a ready-made property or limited project risk, this is likely not the right purchase. Interested buyers should verify planning details, service connections and site boundaries before committing.
