<b>Description</b>
Dimmock’s Cote Road (A1123) is the road connecting Stretham and Wicken, with the development opportunity having a lovely view across the East Cambridgeshire Fenland and each home has views of the River Cam and towards Kingfishers Bridge Nature Reserve, which is just to the north of the development. The Reserve has a visitor centre, many lovely walks and the Cam Washes Site of Special Scientific Interest and many areas of interest – including Wader, Fen and Wildflower Meadows along with Reedbeds and a lake.
The development opportunity includes the area shown edged red on the site plan. The blue edged area (plot 1) has been sold separately. The green area (plot 2) has been retained by the vendor and will be constructed and offered for sale as a completed unit. Plots 3-6 along with the access road make up the development opportunity offered for sale.
The vendor has completed the installation of services to the development – with each plot having incoming services, piling, reinforcement and hardcore.
<b>Location</b>
Local amenities to Wicken include a church, farm shop and playgroup. The village is renowned for the popular Wicken Fen Nature Reserve, South Angle Park Farm and the historic Devils Dyke walk at nearby Burwell.
The areas around Wicken provide many water-based attractions, with The River Cam having mooring at Upware Marina, TipTree Marina and Fish and Duck Marina. There are water sports available at Hannam’s Wake Hub at Stretham and Ely Sailing Club at Ely.
The villages of Fordham and Soham, both approximately 3 miles distant, provide a range of local shopping facilities and schools catering for all age ranges. For more extensive shopping and schooling, the horse racing town of Newmarket is within 9 miles or the Cathedral City of Ely is within 7 miles. Both provide excellent rail links for commuters to London and Cambridge.
Wicken is also ideally situated for commuters into Cambridge and Cambridge's Science and Business Parks via Stretham and the A10.
