Summary - 2, OLD HOUGHTON ROAD PE29 1YB
4 bed 1 bath Land
Implemented full consents for three dwellings with CIL paid, ready for next steps.
Freehold 1.5-acre plot with substantial development potential
A rare residential development opportunity in comfortable suburbia, this 1.5-acre freehold plot already benefits from implemented full planning consent for three additional dwellings (consents 16/00597/FUL and 18/00089/FUL). Permissions include two detached houses with garages (c.2,200sqft and c.2,500sqft) and a three-bedroom detached bungalow (c.1,700sqft); Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) has been paid. The existing bungalow sits centrally with its own access from Old Houghton Road, leaving the approved new units to be accessed from Main Street/B1514.
The site offers clear near-term value for developers or investor-builders who want an executed scheme to deliver. Its sizeable plot and semi-rural setting provide scope for additional planning uplift, subject to local authority approval. Practical advantages include mains services (water, sewerage, electricity, gas), fast broadband, very low flood risk and very low local crime — all supportive for sale or rental prospects.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site lies within a conservation area, which may restrict external changes and influence future planning applications. The existing bungalow is in place and will require enhancement if retained; alternatively, demolition and redevelopment would be subject to approvals. Council Tax for the current dwelling is high, and mobile signal is average in places. Any further development beyond the implemented consents will require fresh planning consent.
Well located for amenities, the plot is close to good primary and secondary schools, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and efficient transport links via Huntingdon station and the A141/A1(M). For purchasers targeting a quick delivery, the implemented consents and paid CIL reduce upfront planning risk; for those seeking longer-term value, further planning gain is a realistic prospect in this affluent suburban setting.
