Plot 1 at The Aviary is a generous 0.4-acre freehold plot in highly sought-after Fowlmere, offering up to 3,500 sq ft of permitted accommodation and broad, uninterrupted countryside views. Roads and mains services will be delivered to the plots, simplifying the build start. With fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy road links to Cambridge and Royston, the site marries rural calm with practical connectivity.
This is a genuine self/custom-build opportunity: you can use a pre-approved design or appoint your own architect and builder to create a bespoke family home. Local primary schools are rated Good and village amenities are strong, making this attractive for families who want space, schools nearby and community life. Typical end values are projected between £1.2m–£2m depending on size and finish, giving scope for long-term value uplift.
Important restrictions apply under the Section 106 agreement: each plot is designated for self-build or custom-build under the Self-build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 and must be occupied by the self/custom builder for a minimum of three years from first occupation (Protected Occupation Period). Until that period expires, plots may only be sold to individuals or associations registered on South Cambridgeshire District Council’s self-build register. Buyers should factor in build times, overall construction budget and the responsibility of managing a new-build project.
Summary: an excellent plot for an owner-builder seeking a large, private site within a prosperous village setting. The location, services provision and scale are major strengths; the protected-occupation covenant and the time, cost and management of construction are the principal considerations.
