£1,325,000 Guide Price
Pearce Close, Newnham, Cambridge, CB3
£650,000 buys you this tranquil cul-de-sac Freehold Land-Plot in the leafy heartland of central Cambridge. After which, No7 has Full Planning Permission for you to build this sun-blessed home: 2,500sqft offering 4 fine Bedrooms over 3 Floors (as approximated here by Artist’s drawings). Or simply create your own size & design to suit your budget : Cambridge Council undertake to give a decision within 8 weeks of receiving plans.
For the No7 illustrated here, an estimated good-quality build-cost of £200 per sqft + Architect, Engineer & Project Manager + land tax, could, for a Private Buyer, total £675K. (This is virgin land, with easy access from the road.)
Add to that sum the land-price of £650K, and this makes your £1,325K final figure.
Compare that to the values achieved in nearby Spens Avenue, Stukeley Close and Gough Way, for the newer homes of a comparable size and quality.
(Builders/Developers, please see bottom-of-page for notes on a full-plot dig-out/larger property Planning Permission previously granted.)
Your good-looking newbuild will sit in the prime position of this very friendly cul-de-sac, tucked away in this blossomed ‘old-school’ neighbourhood called Newnham - a tranquil quarter of this little city. Your front-door faces westward, while most of the house opens on to your south-facing backgarden. You’re just a few minutes walk to Children’s Play Areas, and vast Sports Fields. The Sunday Times called Newnham “The best place to live in Britain!” because it’s a really enjoyable ten-minute cycle-ride via safe pavement-bikepaths to King’s College Chapel, to some of England’s top-achieving schools (State & Private, Junior & Senior), to the gorgeous Granchester River-Meadows, and the 48-minute trains to London King’s Cross, or Liverpool Street. (See the route-map amid the photos.)
Cambridge is The Great Escape, and here’s The Magnificent 7.
She’s a unique original sitting very pretty at the head of the cul-de-sac. Note how her windows & walls are thoughtfully designed to ensure your peace & privacy (and afford the neighbours theirs). This kind-natured & highly practical design, has some truly delightful features:
• The Ground Floor Family-Room, Open Plan, whose sunlit Kitchen-Diner, Media-Space, & Fireplace, all open onto the Walled Garden via 8 sliding glass-doors.
• The Walled Garden, South-Facing, is open to the light from East & West: it’s circa 11m x 7m i.e. 36ft x 22ft. Your Front Garden, perfect for Raised & Tiered Flower-Beds, is 1.5m/5ft deep.
• The Middle Floor has three fine Study-Bedrooms, (one with a shower & WC), who share a Luxury Bathroom.
• The Top Floor is your dedicated Parent’s Penthouse, with a twin-facing fireplace, luxury Bath & Shower, a well-lit Dressing Area, and a beautifully private open-air Terrace with tree-top vistas. (Cambridge is both the driest and warmest County in all of England!)
• The Large Carport sufficient for an SUV, and a secure Bike Yard.
• Other Considerate Features include: 3 fireplaces; the Spiral Stairs in pastel-coloured glass-bricks & sunlight; Juliet Balconies to mid-floor Bedrooms; and a westerly Top Floor Flower-Window for the open-air Terrace (a terrace & window that can be glass-covered, if you prefer).
• This happy Family-Home is perhaps a 10 minute cycle-ride on dedicated ‘pavement bike-paths’ to the very best schools, and King’s College; 15-minutes cycle to the Main Train Station; and only a 5-minutes traffic-free drive in the other direction to join the M11 at Junction-12.
Please feel free & welcome to come view the No.7 land without booking an appointment. The plot can be seen in full from the curbside, but please stroll on & around the grass & wood-bark area, to get a feel for its full potential. East to West, the plot runs from its back boundary fence with Wolfson College (a quiet post-graduate Cambridge University College), all the way to its front curbstone with the Pearce Close tarmac. There is no council verge, which is why the lampost can be removed. North to South, the plot runs 6inches from the garage-wall of No3, all way across to 3inches from the house-wall of No6.
Please do knock at No6, next door, if you wish to chat directly to the vendor of the No7 plot.
APPROXIMATE DIMENSIONS OF No7 LAND-PLOT:
Width: 19.7m i.e. 65ft (North to South)
Depth: 12.6m i.e. 42ft (East to West)
(Note that the Google Street View is out-of-date: the plot has been considerably widened since then.)
IF SELF-BUILDING: You could likely bring No7 to life, and to your personal specifications re colours & materials, and be in within 8 months. Your Architect would invite bids from experienced house-builders, then your appointed Project Manager would independently monitor every aspect of the construction, tailor-made to your wishes & your budget. Whether you want exposed oak-beams or brushed steel, beneath grey slate or terracotta roof-tiles, it’s good to know all Materials & Labour are automatically VAT-Free for a new-build house in England; and you only pay Stamp-Duty (circa £22,500) on the land-price you paid, not the final-value of your home.
Full Building Permission was granted February 2018. Ref: 17/2000/Ful for the land known as 7 Pearce Close, adjacent to 6 Pearce Close (the Vendor’s own home & property); granted February 2018; good for 3 years from that date; and readily renewable.
