Project Details

Hall Barn Road, Isleham, is a development project of  17 homes; 12 open market units and 5 affordable housing units.



The project is located in the town of Isleham in Cambridgeshire. The site currently benefits from outline planning for 17 units: 12 open market homes and 5 affordable homes. The Gross Development Value (GDV) of the site is predicted to be £5,945,000.00 with an 18 month turnaround period. The site will firstly need its 'reserved matters' application submitted and approved, which relates to the Landscape of the site, and  Newman Rose are in the process of drafting this application in line with the current outline approval. This is not a major consideration, as the site is not of any particular significance in ecological terms.

The proposed build schedule is 14 months and the intention is to progress one unit ahead of the rest to act as an on site showroom/show home to allow sales to begin from month 10.  There are 12 open market units planned for the site in total.

Project Location

The project is situated in Isleham, located in the county of Cambridgeshire, Eastern England, three miles east of the town of Soham, 16 miles north-east of the major city of Cambridge, and 62 miles north of London.  It lies just west of the Suffolk border and falls within the district council of East Cambridgeshire, under the county council of Cambridgeshire. 



Isleham is considered a rural fenland village with many surrounding prominent towns and villages such as Newmarket (situated about 6 miles to the north east), Ely, approximately 8 miles to the north west with its famous Cathedral, and Bury St Edmunds, 14 miles to the south east. Isleham has a population of about 2,300.





The village enjoys good transport links with a direct train link from London to nearby Ely and regular bus services to surrounding towns. The village has three churches,  four shops,  a part time Post Office and  three Public Houses. There is also a recreation ground, community centre and multi-use games area (MUGA), as well as a nursery school and primary school.

Investment & Exit

The project is expected to take approximately 18 months, and offers a 47% ROI pa.  The build is planned to start October 2021.

By way of exit, Newman Rose will sell on the open market, 12 units, and it is the intention to sell a further 5 units to a Housing Association as affordable housing.

A secondary exit would be by refinancing and letting the units.  It is planned to progress one unit ahead of the rest to act as an on site showroom to allow off plan sales to begin from month 10 of the construction period.
