Set well within the sought-after village of Fowlmere, this serviced freehold plot offers a rare chance to design and build a substantial detached family home. The Aviary development brings five serviced plots with planning permission in place for homes up to 325 m² (3,500 sq ft), giving a clear route to a large, bespoke residence on a generous 1,618 m² (0.40 acre) site. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical reassurance.
Plot 1 occupies a corner position with good frontage and natural light, suited to a contemporary five-bedroom layout. The plot is fully serviced and benefits from a stamp duty saving quoted at £85,250. Transport links are strong for a rural location: Meldreth and Foxton stations are around 2.5 miles away with quick services to Cambridge and London, making this attractive to commuting families.
Buyers should note this is a self-build opportunity: planning permission exists for the permitted house size, but construction, appointments, and final finishes remain the purchaser’s responsibility. The local secondary school has an Ofsted rating of Inadequate, though two nearby primary schools are rated Good. There is no flood risk indicated and the area is described as very affluent with a prospering countryside lifestyle.
This plot will suit buyers seeking spacious, bespoke family accommodation or an owner-assembled investment in a well-connected Cambridgeshire village. Early enquiries are recommended as availability is limited across the five-plot scheme.
