Set on the southern edge of Fowlmere, Plot 4 at The Aviary is a rare serviced building plot offering space, privacy and planning headroom for a substantial detached home. At 2,023 m² (0.53 acres) with consented house size up to 372 m² (4,000 sq ft), the site suits a large family residence or an executive bespoke project. The plot is freehold, has no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical modern essentials for countryside living.
Planning permission is already granted for a substantial five-bedroom dwelling on Plot 4, removing a major early hurdle for self-builders. The Aviary’s location gives easy access to Meldreth and Foxton stations (approx. 2.5 miles), with swift rail links to Cambridge and London — a strong commuter advantage while retaining rural tranquillity and low local crime.
This opportunity is for buyers prepared to commission and oversee a build: the plot is serviced, but construction, fit-out and landscaping remain to be delivered by the purchaser. The nearby secondary school has an Ofsted rating of Inadequate, which may matter to some families; primary schooling in the area is rated Good. Opportunities are limited and best suited to those wanting a substantial bespoke home rather than a move-in-ready property.
