Back Road — Back Road

A rare opportunity to create a stunning home within a 0.56 acre plot bordering idyllic open countryside in a favoured and well connected South Cambs village. The consented house is build-ready but there remains considerable scope to alter or substitute the design subject to a S73 planning application. Planning consent S/0073/20/VC (relating to consent reference S/4297/18/FL) has been granted for a 797m² (8,579ft²) striking two-storey dwelling which blends contemporary design with ecological sensitivity. Thoughtfully designed to utilise the topography of its setting and minimise the impact on its surroundings, with generous and flexible open-plan living areas and provision for lift access to all floors, the current design includes a part basement with indoor pool and wellness facilities and the potential for a media/cinema room. With a desire to meet the highest of energy efficiency standards, the design provides for the latest renewable energy and energy saving technology to be integrated with Passivhaus principles. Bordering open farmland and accessed via a new partially completed private driveway between two existing dwellings, the total site area extends to approximately 0.56 acres. Situated in a natural fold in the landscape and screened by mature trees and hedging, the site enjoys a high degree of seclusion and yet is only a short walk from the village centre. Of particular benefit, whilst the design of the private driveway is established, there is considerable scope for the purchaser to vary the size, design and layout of the dwelling within the plot, subject to planning permission, where necessary. This outstanding site provides an exciting opportunity to create a special dwelling, bringing an architectural vision to life in one of South Cambridgeshire’s most desirable villages.
