Rare secluded plot with planning consent for a stylish family residence.
2.05-acre hilltop plot with exceptional, uninterrupted countryside views
Coppice Lodge occupies a hillside 2.05-acre plot with far-reaching, unspoilt rural views towards Lyveden New Bield and Oundle. The late-Edwardian limestone cottage sits beneath a Collyweston slate roof, surrounded by lawned gardens, mature hedging and a mixture of agricultural outbuildings, paddocks and a natural pond — a rare, private setting on a no-through lane yet only three miles from Oundle’s schools and amenities.
This is a clear refurbishment or redevelopment opportunity. Full Planning Permission (North Northamptonshire Council ref NE24/01178/FUL, granted 11 July 2025) exists for a high-specification replacement barn-style house of 306 sq m with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an annex, plus a 94 sq m yoga studio/home office overlooking the pond. Alternatively the existing cottage and range of barns offer scope for conversion, repair or alternative schemes (other designs may be acceptable to the Local Authority).
The site’s strengths are its size, seclusion and approved design potential — ideal for a family seeking a bespoke rural home or an investor/developer delivering a contemporary dwelling in a sought-after village setting. Practical considerations include a property that now requires updating and renovation, a modest existing residential footprint, and a single bathroom in the current cottage. The holding includes stables, machinery store, Dutch barn and portal cattle barns which will need upkeep or demolition depending on chosen plans.
Purchasers should note the planning decision details and drawings are available for review. Services, systems and exact measurements should be independently verified; the property is offered freehold and presents a substantial opportunity for those able to manage a renovation or to implement the consented replacement scheme.
