Directly opposite Corby train station — ~3–5 minute walk, trains every 30 minutes
Planning potential for apartments, care home or commercial uses (subject to planning)
Excellent commuter links, easy access to M1 and M6; fast broadband available
Located in town centre with nearby schools, shops and amenities
Area classed as deprived; local workforce lower degree-educated percentage
Very high recorded crime rate — security and design mitigation likely required
Tenure unknown; planning and site due diligence essential
This prominent 0.694-acre town-centre plot sits directly opposite Corby train station, offering clear appeal for residential, care-home or commercial schemes (all subject to planning). Its location provides strong commuter access — trains every 30 minutes and straightforward links to the M1 and M6 — making it attractive to developers targeting rental apartments or mixed-use town-centre schemes.
The site is well positioned for amenities, nearby schools and local services, and benefits from fast broadband. Concept images and earlier descriptions show a contemporary, mid-sized apartment-led scheme set within modest landscaping and parking — a practical template for developers seeking a modern urban proposition in a growth town. The plot size and central position give flexibility for a range of footprints and densities.
Important negatives are clear and should be factored into viability studies: the area is classified as deprived with a very high recorded crime rate and a lower-than-average rate of degree-level qualification among residents. Tenure is unknown and any development will be subject to planning consent. These constraints may affect scheme mix, specification, security requirements and valuation; careful local market and planning appraisal is recommended before commitment.
