Land for sale

High Street, Foxton, Cambridge CB22

A rare opportunity to acquire a detached period barn with full planning consent for conversion to a two storey dwelling, located centrally off the High Street within this most sought-after village.

Planning

Detailed planning consent was granted for the “Conversion of garden barn to 1 No. Detached dwelling” by South Cambridgeshire District Council Ref: 23/04570/ful on 12th February 2024. The planning documents and plans referred to are available from the Greater Cambridge shared planning website () or on request from our offices.

The property once built will offer generous accommodation of around 1850sqft set across two floors and comprising: Entrance hall, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, garden room, utility, and ground floor bedroom with ensuite. To the first floor there will be a further bedroom and with ensuite, plus a family area.

The proposed development respects the existing appearance of the barn by maintaining as much as possible of the original structure at the front of the building and confining most of the necessary alterations to the rear of the dwelling where they will not be readily visible. Once built, the accommodation offers versatile living, including catering for those with mobility challenges.

Outside, the property will be accessed via a shared driveway and is nicely positioned set back from the road. There is parking for several cars to the front of the property, and a modest garden to the rear offering a good degree of privacy.
