Four parcels of land in King’s Hedges sell for more than £3,000

Four parcels of freehold land in a residential part of Cambridge have sold in an auction bidding war for £3,601.

The sites, which are located in King’s Hedges, were among 149 lots listed across southern England by Clive Emson Auctioneers in the firm’s 1 May auction.

Paul Bridgeman, regional director and auctioneer for the regional land and property auction firm, said: “We anticipated keen interest, and this proved to be the case, with 34 bids made and the final one coming in at £3,601, which was £3,101 above the guide price of £500.

“The land may offer potential for alternative uses, subject to all the necessary consents being obtainable. We are not privy to any plans the new owner may or may not have.”
