Huntingdon 4 bed detached house (2919332310 - final id) (FS)

I drove past this one on my road trip last month, but didn't stop to take photos, as there was nowhere obvious to park .... which may well be off putting for casual house hunters.

The bigger issue is there are MASSIVE road works in the area, which at a casual glance could easily be assumed to be providing access to a huge new estate (or worse, tin shed alley). Maybe in five to ten years time that will indeed be the case, but short term its just the construction of a new road.

The A14 trunk road is in the process of being re-aligned between Cambridge and just west of Huntingdon, and is due to open late 2020. Once the new southerly alignment of the A14 opens, the plan is to demolish the elevated section of the existing A14 in the centre of Huntingdon, and create a new link road to route the existing A14 (de-trunked) into Huntingdon's road network. The long term consequence of which is the main road immediately in front of the property will carry more traffic than it currently does.

There is a planning application to use the land to the west of the new link road to store topsoil from the A14 extension works until the project completion, which will short term increase construction traffic on local roads.

I've slightly expanded this post in DDC for those with access, and included a plan to help make sense of the roadworks. I think the main conclusion is the area is going to be a mess of roadworks for probably eighteen plus months, and will not be conducive to selling the property in the meantime.
