A unique development opportunity in the form of a detached public house with adjoining plot of land totalling 1.65 acres. Although there is no planning permission to hand, the site is considered suitable for residential development and could present a perfect investment opportunity.
Located in the fenland village of Ramsey St Mary's, Herne Road is approximately mid-way between Peterborough City Centre and Huntingdon Town Centre, both some 11 miles away, and only 3.8 miles from Ramsey Town which hosts a range of independent shops, schools (nursery, primary and secondary), three supermarkets, two medical centres, a dentist and a good selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Ramsey is a heritage-rich market town which grew up around its Abbey and, prior to the 12th century, was once one of the most important monastic institutions in England. There are many historical sites around the area worth exploring, including the river that runs beneath the centre of the town after it was covered by the Great Whyte street in 1852. Huntingdon and Peterborough train stations have fast lines into London Kings Cross taking only 45 minutes, and a guided bus from Huntingdon goes straight into Cambridge City.
