Main Street, Badby, Daventry, Northamptonshire, NN11

Exceptional village development opportunity with Permission in Principle.

Description

Situated in the very heart of the village of Badby, Orchard Bungalow represents one of the most significant undeveloped residential plots to come to the market in recent years.

Having remained in the same family's ownership since the mid-1960s, the property is offered for sale for the first time in over 60 years and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of land with considerable future potential.

Extending to approximately 1 acre of mature gardens and traditional orchard, the site occupies a central position within this attractive Northamptonshire village and enjoys a sense of privacy and maturity rarely found in development opportunities of this nature.

The existing bungalow is complemented by a traditional stone barn and a range of timber stables, with the grounds providing an attractive setting defined by established trees, open lawns and orchard planting. The size, character and configuration of the site combine to create a highly compelling proposition for developers and private individuals alike.

Permission in Principle (reference: 2024/3392/PIP) has been granted for a small-scale residential development comprising up to four dwellings, offering an exciting opportunity to create an exclusive scheme within one of the area's most sought-after villages. Purchasers should note that detailed planning consent and technical design approval will be required before development can commence.

In all about 1 acre.
