Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of land situated to the rear of 160 and 162 Wisbech Road, in the sought-after village of Thorney, just outside Peterborough. Extending to approximately 0.6 acres, this generous plot is currently laid to grass and offers tremendous potential for a variety of future uses—subject to the necessary planning consents. Located within walking distance of village amenities and offering excellent transport links, the land is available with no forward chain.
This versatile plot of land is tucked away in a private position behind two residential dwellings and benefits from side access. There is also scope for front access subject to the kerb being dropped and planning approval (STPP). Presently grassland, the site provides a blank canvas for a range of future opportunities.
Potential Uses (STPP):
•Residential development – Space to build one or more homes, ideal for self-builders or developers seeking a profitable project.
•Equestrian use – The size and layout lend themselves well to paddocks or small-scale stabling.
•Storage or commercial yard – Subject to approval, it could serve as a compound for vehicles, machinery, or materials.
•Smallholding or allotments – Perfect for those interested in growing produce or keeping livestock.
•Recreational space – Could be landscaped for private leisure use such as a garden retreat, play area, or micro-campsite.
•Eco or modular housing – A growing trend, especially for investors interested in low-impact living solutions.

The village offers a friendly and tight-knit community, complete with:
•A well-regarded primary school (Duke of Bedford Primary School)
•Village shop and post office
•Cafés, pub, and takeaway options
•A doctors’ surgery and pharmacy
•Regular bus services into Peterborough and Wisbech

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
