Gidding Road, Sawtry, Huntingdon

An exciting redevelopment opportunity comprising a detached house in need of repair, with
Outline Planning Permission to replace it with an attractive, detached dwelling,
set in grounds of about 1.67 acres, with far-reaching rural views.

Woodfield Farmhouse is a former pair of late Victorian cottages, knocked into a single dwelling and then extended at a later stage, to create a substantial home. It offers a floor area of about 205 sq m GIA, comprising hall, three large reception rooms, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a bathroom.
Oil-fired central heating is installed and many of the windows are uPVC double glazed.

The house is set at the end of a lengthy drive, within grounds of about 1.67 acres. A prefabricated garage and large timber shed, are set to the front. There are beautiful rural views from both the house and the grounds. Access to the property is along a shared drive which serves one other dwelling and a farmyard (see plan).

The house is dated and has suffered some structural movement and could possibly be repaired. However, Outline Planning Permission has been granted for a replacement dwelling, with handsome elevations and a floor area of about 245 sq m, with the opportunity to increase this by 25%, by going into the roof space.
