Rare central-plot opportunity for residential conversion or investment-led development.
- Freehold industrial building approximately 9,000 sq ft
- Pre-application advice supports residential redevelopment in principle
- Indicative drawings propose 8–11 residential units
- Offered with full vacant possession
- No flood risk; excellent mobile and fast broadband
- Garage parking and existing car-park area on site
- High local crime level; scheme security considerations needed
- Redevelopment subject to full planning; demolition and remediation costs likely
A substantial freehold industrial building of circa 9,000 sq ft on a decent plot close to Rushden town centre. Pre-application advice from the local authority indicates demolition and residential redevelopment is possible in principle; indicative layouts prepared show between 8–11 residential units. The site is offered with full vacant possession and could suit investors or owner-developers targeting town-centre rental or sale demand.
Practical positives include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, garage parking and an existing car park area. The property’s scale and central location give clear potential for a small housing scheme of townhouses or a mix of houses and apartments, subject to formal planning consent.
Important constraints: planning is not granted and any redevelopment will need full approval. The area records relatively high crime and the local demographic mixes ageing urban communities with multi-ethnic professionals, which will influence scheme design and marketing. The building will require demolition or substantial remodelling for residential use; costs for demolition, remediation and services upgrade should be anticipated.
This is a site-level opportunity rather than a ready-to-go development. It will appeal to buyers who can carry pre-development costs, manage planning risk and add value through design and construction. For purchasers seeking a central, large-footprint plot with demonstrable pre-application support, this offers a realistic route to residential redevelopment.
