The surrounding recreation grounds include multiple football pitches, cricket facilities, tennis courts, bowling green, and a hard court sports area.

Previously operating as a bar and restaurant, the property has been vacant since covid and now presents an exceptional redevelopment opportunity. Detailed planning consent was granted in May 2025 (planning number 24/03899/ful South Cambs District Council) for the demolition of the existing buildings and the construction of a new café/bar/restaurant in a prime position, with a footprint of approximately 520 sq m (5,597 sq ft), including first floor restaurant accommodation and a second floor attractive roof terrace overlooking the surrounding sports grounds.
Location
The premises are located approximately 10 miles west of Cambridge, offering a range of amenities, services, and a strong community. The property also benefits from excellent transport links, being close to the A428, which provides convenient access to Cambridge, Bedford, the M11, and the A14.
