We are pleased to present a prime residential and commercial development opportunity situated in the heart of Cambridge, prominently positioned on Newmarket Road / Godesdone Road.
Full planning permission was granted on 5th May 2023 under reference 22/04356/FUL for the comprehensive redevelopment of the site.
The consent allows for the conversion and extension of the existing buildings, together with the demolition of the rear block at 1 Godesdone Road, to deliver a well-considered mixed-use scheme.
The approved development comprises a ground floor retail unit with 12 one-bedroom residential apartments positioned to the rear and above, representing a net gain of 9 units. The scheme also incorporates cycle parking and associated infrastructure.
The Site
The site extends to approximately 0.12 acres and currently comprises two retail units, three residential units, and a series of workshops arranged around a small rear courtyard. At present, the property generates an annual rental income in the region of £56,740.
Access to the site is provided via a covered passage between 185-189 Newmarket Road and 1 Godesdone Road.
The approved scheme will deliver a ground floor retail unit extending to approximately 1,237 sq ft, alongside 5,575 sq ft of residential accommodation, in addition to ancillary space. The design retains much of the existing courtyard while enhancing its configuration to create a more functional and attractive shared amenity space for residents.
Please note, some images have been professionally enhanced for marketing purposes.

E HoffmannMany thanks to the team at Antony Davis for helping us sell our home! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I am happy to recommend you to others. Given the timing of our sale and the bumps we ran into along the way, we were really pleased to have Tony and Maria working facilitate everything. I really appreciated the good communication, the ease in which you work, the solid recommendations for supporting services and the commitment to complete the sale as smoothly as possible. An easy five stars from me.
Kim DunnAbsolutely fantastic. We sold our house and bought a house with Tony and Maria, and we can’t recommend them enough. They were so friendly. Helpful and patient, very clear communication and supportive throughout. We recommend them to everyone! We needed to move quickly and our house was up for sale the same day they came to take photos, and we had offers 48 hours later. Maria was very professional and we really felt the personal care they put into every transaction.
Sally SunkersingWe would highly recommend Antony Davis Estate Agents. We appreciated Tony’s excellent communication, professionalism and personal approach. We had already found a house we wanted to buy and Tony was able to get our house on the market and secure a good buyer in less than a week. He kept us so well informed all the way through the sale process and was very kind and reassuring.
