Description
An opportunity to purchase a dilapidated detached dwelling, on the outskirts of the popular Fenland village.
The current property is of brick wall construction beneath a pitched tiled roof, but is in very poor structural order and therefore requires significant repair or more likely complete replacement.
Due to the poor condition of the property, which is unsafe, there is no access to the inside of the dwelling and no children should visit the site. Anyone wishing to visit the site must first liaise with Cheffins and discuss further.
A reserved matters application was permitted on 3rd October 2023 for the replacement of the current building with a 3 bedroom dwelling under planning reference 23/00362/RM (Fenland District Council). This was in accordance with the original grant of outline planning consent reference 19/01862/O. See full details within the legal pack and on the Fenland District Council planning portal.
The site and development is subject to reserved matters conditions and CIL payment. Any potential buyer must carry out their own due diligence via solicitors and Fenland District Council.
