Summary - MARTINS FARM, EGGSHELL LANE CM7 4HJ
1 bed 1 bath Plot
Extant Class Q consent for five dwellings; scope to reprovision with new planning.
Approximately 0.8 acres of development land
A substantial rural plot of about 0.8 acres with Prior Approval (Class Q) for conversion of two agricultural buildings into five dwellings totalling c.6,750 sqft. The site sits in a quiet hamlet setting with open farmland views, low crime, and good links to the M11 and Audley End station for commuting to London and Cambridge.
Technical work is already in place: a Phase I Geo-Environmental Desk Study (Phase II recommended), a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (no protected-species surveys required), a structural inspection finding the buildings suitable for Class Q conversion, and confirmation the site lies in Flood Zone 1. These reports reduce some planning risk, while the existing Prior Approval speeds a route to delivery for a developer or investor.
The buildings are externally weathered and partially dilapidated, offering clear refurbishment or redevelopment scope. The consented scheme is for conversion, but there is also scope to apply to demolish and rebuild up to five dwellings (separate permissions required). Buyers should budget for significant building works, a recommended Phase II ground investigation, and normal planning costs if reprofiling the scheme.
Offered freehold at £750,000, this plot will suit an investor or small developer seeking a countryside conversion project with existing technical surveys and an extant Class Q approval. The site includes a pond, garages/parking and substantial external hardstanding; further adjoining land is available by separate negotiation.
