Proposed contemporary design ~180 sqm plus 24 sqm garage
Off-street parking space for three cars

Small plot; existing garages require demolition and full rebuild
Subject to full planning approval — not consented yet
Freehold tenure; no flood risk and low local crime
Build costs, fees and timescales to be budgeted by buyer
A rare central Oundle building plot with positive pre-application feedback from North Northamptonshire Council. The site is offered freehold and sits in a comfortable, low-crime neighbourhood close to town amenities and highly regarded schools, making it attractive for local buyers, investors or a self-builder seeking town-centre convenience.
Design work by SEABROOK Design proposes a contemporary 180 sqm home with a 24 sqm garage, flexible enough for 4–5 bedrooms or dedicated home-office space. The layout includes off-street parking for three cars and no overlooking or overshadowing constraints noted, which supports light-filled, multi-storey living.
Key risks and practical notes are straightforward: the opportunity is subject to full planning approval despite positive pre-application advice (Ref: NE/23/00839/QRY). The plot is small and currently occupied by garages with no architectural significance, so demolition and a full build will be required. EPC is exempt for land, and buyers should factor build costs, fees and project timescales into their budget.
For developers or self-builders, this is a rare town-centre plot with pre-prepared contemporary designs and strong local amenity support. For purchasers seeking immediate occupation, this plot is a development project rather than a ready home.
