A rare, large development parcel in the heart of Oundle centred around an attractive terrace of traditional Collyweston stone cottages. The frontage cottages and slate roofs offer strong period character that can be retained as part of a new residential scheme or refurbished as standalone homes.
The rear curtilage is level and generous — the overall site extends to about 0.5 acres with approximately 0.4 acres of developable land and existing vehicular access. Seller notes potential for a number of terraced townhouses or two to three individual dwellings, subject to planning; the plot is within the Oundle Conservation Area so designs will need to respect local controls.
Practical considerations are clear: a range of single-storey outbuildings includes asbestos roofs and redundant stores requiring disposal or remediation. The cottages are period and modest in scale (low ceilings, small rooms) and will require upgrading to meet modern standards. There is a medium flooding risk to factor into design and insurance costs.
This site suits a developer or investor targeting sympathetic infill in a very affluent, small-town location with easy walking access to Oundle’s Georgian centre, schools and local amenities. The freehold title, central position and strong heritage frontage create genuine value for a considered redevelopment, but conservations constraints, remediation costs and planning risk must be allowed for in any offer.
