A single building plot with outline planning consent for a 5 bedroom detached self-build property. Occupying a stunning position on the edge of this highly desirable and most picturesque south-Cambridgeshire village

Planning Consent On 24th December 2024 outline planning consent was granted for the construction of 9 No. Self-build/ Custom-build homes with access and associated infrastructure with some matters reserved except for access under Greater Cambridge Shared Planning ref: 23/02966/OUT

The Plots These self build plots at Leaden Hill present the opportunity to manage the construction of your dream home. The property can be tailored to your personal preferences through working with your own choice of architect and build partner. The plots are positioned within an exclusive development of just 9 homes on the edge of the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside.

The plots benefit from outline consent for the construction of a detached dwelling within the agreed build zone. Each home will have 3-5 bedrooms and range from 2,000 s.qft-2,500 sq.ft in size. Purchasing a self-build plot enables the ultimate flexibility for your own bespoke layout, finishes and style. Each plot comes with a "passport" which will include your plot boundary and external dimensions. The plot will be serviced with water, electric, BT, foul/ storm drainage and the access road.


Please ask Cheffins if you have any queries regarding recommended architects, build partners and funding options.

Stamp Duty Saving Stamp duty is applicable on the price of the plot only, offering significant savings compared to buying a complete new build house.
