This is a substantial 4.63‑acre parcel of amenity land on the northern edge of Soham, offered freehold with vacant possession. The site’s size and location close to Ely, Cambridge links and local schools make it attractive to investors or developers exploring future residential or commercial schemes, subject to planning. The land is overgrown and currently undeveloped, offering a clear blank canvas for a range of uses.
No planning permission has been granted, and purchasers must make their own enquiries regarding services and access. There is a legal overage provision: 30% of any uplift in value if planning permission for residential or commercial use is secured within 25 years. Access is currently restricted and viewings are by appointment only; prospective buyers should check title details (Title CB193271) and any rights or easements affecting the site.
Buyers should note material risks plainly: medium flood risk, services are not confirmed on site, and the land is described as overgrown amenity/ agricultural space — preparatory works and potential remediation may be required. The surrounding area is rural with good road links to Ely and Cambridge, and Soham offers local amenities and schools, making the location broadly suitable for schemes that require proximity to commuter routes.
This opportunity suits a purchaser prepared to take a speculative planning approach or to hold as a longer-term landbank. The overage provision and lack of permissions are key negotiating and financial considerations; factor these into funding and timescale proposals before committing.
