Key Features
- Approximately 1.1-acre parcel of land

Description
The plot extends to approximately 1.1 acres and is located just north of Westfield and east of Station Road. The site occupies a convenient position within easy reach of the Guided Busway, the proposed supermarket on Station Road, and a range of local amenities and schools in Willingham, Longstanton and Northstowe.
The site has been subject to a number of previous unsuccessful planning applications. The planning references and of these applications and subsequent appeals can be provided on request.
The site is therefore being offered without planning permission, presenting a speculative opportunity for a purchaser who considers there may be potential to secure consent for residential development in the future. Subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, this could provide the opportunity to develop the site directly or potentially divide and resell individual plots.
Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries with the relevant local planning authority and seek independent professional advice regarding the likelihood and nature of any future development potential.
LOCATION
Willingham is a large, thriving village situated around 12 miles northwest of Cambridge, close to the A14 and well connected to the Guided Busway via nearby Longstanton. This offers residents excellent transport links by both bus and cycle, with the Busway’s traffic-free route providing safe access to Cambridge, Northstowe and St Ives.
The village boasts an extensive range of amenities including a Co-op supermarket, independent shops, pubs, restaurants, cafés, a library, medical centre, dental practices, sports and social clubs, churches, village hall, recreation ground, football and cricket pitches, and several children’s play parks. A number of small businesses and artisan producers add to Willingham’s local charm. Cyclists enjoy direct routes to Rampton, Longstanton, Over and Cottenham.
Willingham Primary School is well regarded (Ofsted Good), and secondary education is typically provided by Cottenham Village College (Ofsted Good) or Northstowe Secondary College (Ofsted Good). Safe cycling routes to both Cottenham and the Busway make it ideal for families seeking accessible schooling.
