Summary - South Road, Oundle PE8 4BP
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Large level plot with conversion and redevelopment potential close to town.
Freehold development site in Oundle Conservation Area
A rare development parcel in the heart of Oundle, this Freehold site combines a row of traditional stone cottages with a very large level rear plot of approximately 0.5 acres. The cottages retain period features—stone fireplaces, exposed beams and Collyweston slate roofs—and sit within the Oundle Conservation Area, all within easy walking distance of the Georgian town centre and local amenities.
The site presents clear redevelopment potential: brochure indications suggest the frontage cottages can be incorporated into rear extensions and the rear land could accommodate several terraced townhouses or two to three individual homes. Fast broadband, good local services and proximity to notable schools make the location attractive for a sympathetic residential scheme or an owner-occupier seeking a larger private garden and conversion potential.
Important considerations are set out plainly. There is no formal planning permission recorded; potential buyers should factor in conservation-area controls and obtain pre-application advice. The plot includes a number of single-storey outbuildings with asbestos roofs and mixed-condition stores that will require safe removal or repair. Flooding risk is assessed as medium and the buildings and services will need careful inspection and likely refurbishment.
For a buyer seeking a downsize-with-potential or an investor comfortable navigating heritage constraints, this site offers a rare canvas in a very affluent market town. The combination of historic frontage cottages, large developable land and central walking location gives a wide range of options, subject to statutory consents and remedial work.
