Description
A rare town-centre redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Northampton’s NN1, set within a conservation area on Gold Street.
An application has been submitted for the part demolition of later 1960s fabric and the adaptation of the existing first floor, together with the addition of two further storeys to deliver 13 self-contained apartments. The ground floor and basement are proposed to remain in Class E use, preserving valuable commercial frontage in a high-footfall location.
The design proposes refreshed façades to Gold Street, a reconfigured upper elevation, and an amenity courtyard/through-route for residents, aligning with the surrounding townscape. The site sits moments from everyday amenities, bus routes and Northampton rail links, making it well-suited to build-to-rent, resale, or mixed investment strategies.
Planning documentation available on request.
Interested parties should rely on their own due diligence and planning enquiries. Viewings & further information: by appointment only.
Copies of the submission pack and drawings can be supplied to qualified buyers upon request.
Note: The property is within a conservation area but is not listed. All figures, specification and accommodation schedules are subject to planning and final approvals.
Sold as seen.
