Nestled in the charming and sought-after village of Fowlmere, located in the picturesque south of Cambridge, an exciting opportunity awaits those looking to create their dream home. We proudly present five self/custom build plots, each boasting breathtaking views of the surrounding open fields and rolling countryside.

Custom Build Homes is delighted to offer for sale a 931 m² plot in the highly sought-after South Cambridgeshire village of Fowlmere. This rare opportunity offers buyers exceptional scope to create their own bespoke 4-bedroom detached home, with open field views to the front and the potential for a significant stamp duty saving up to £60,000.

The advertised price is a guide price based on the combined cost of the serviced plot and a turnkey build using the example home shown in the CGI. The serviced plot is priced at £500,000, with an estimated build budget of £550,000.

While the final house design is for the buyer to define with their preferred Architect, the shown example 4-bedroom home demonstrates the scale, flow and potential for contemporary family living, complete with spacious living areas, flexible ground-floor rooms and well-planned bedroom accommodation.

This plot offers buyers the chance to create superb kerb appeal by creating a modern design with clean architectural lines and extensive glazing, intended to maximise light and views.
Outside, the plot's 0.4-acre size offers superb potential for landscaped gardens, outdoor seating areas, and additional design elements such as garden studios, terraces or play spaces (subject to planning). The Aviary gives you the foundation to create a home that is truly yours.

Important Information
The shown 4 Bedroom design is illustrative, and all house plans must be approved by South Cambridge DC.

Location - Fowlmere
If you're looking for a welcoming village community, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better place to live than Fowlmere. As one of the southernmost villages in Cambridgeshire, right on the Hertfordshire border, Fowlmere offers excellent access to surrounding towns and cities. Royston is just 6 miles away (under a 10-minute drive), and central Cambridge is less than 10 miles away, around a 20-minute drive - giving you the best of both convenience and countryside living.

Within the village, you'll find a range of amenities including a village hall with tennis courts, a village green and playground, the highly regarded pub and restaurant The Chequers, a local church, playgroup, private nursery and primary school. On the outskirts lies the Fowlmere RSPB Nature Reserve, offering peaceful walks and wildlife throughout the year.

Royston's mainline train station provides a regular direct service to London King's Cross in as little as 38 minutes, with additional stations nearby at Meldreth and Foxton. Road connections are excellent: the M11 is around 10 minutes away, the A1 approximately 25 minutes, and for international travel, London Stansted and London Luton airports are both within a 30-40 minute drive.


Important Information - Section 106 Agreement
All plots at The Aviary are designated for self-build or custom-build homes under the self-build and custom house building act 2015. Each dwelling must be occupied by the self/custom builder for a minimum of three years from first occupation (the "Protected Occupation Period").
