Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a unique rural plot extending to approximately 0.22 of a acre, situated within the sought-after fenland setting of Holt Fen, Little Thetford, just a short distance from Ely.
The property benefits from a recently submitted planning proposal for the erection of a replacement single-storey dwelling, designed to provide modern open-plan living whilst making the most of the site's distinctive shape and countryside outlook. The proposed accommodation comprises an open-plan kitchen/dining room, lounge, two bedrooms and family bathroom, arranged within a contemporary linear layout. The scheme follows pre-application discussions with East Cambridgeshire District Council under reference PREAPP/00035/25.
The site has an established residential planning history, including a Certificate of Lawfulness confirming residential use and previous appeal success for residential extensions, providing a strong planning background.
Occupying a private position approached via Chapel Hill, the plot enjoys open views across surrounding fenland countryside while remaining conveniently located for access to Ely, Cambridge and the A10.
Little Thetford is a popular village located approximately two miles from the cathedral city of Ely, offering excellent rail links to Cambridge, London King's Cross and Norwich, together with a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities.
Planning
