Is your land in Desborough the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Desborough and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. In Northamptonshire, Desborough sits about 14 miles north of Northampton; Market Harborough and Kettering are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Northamptonshire is centred on Northampton, with Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry and Brackley and many villages in between. There is no Green Belt and no National Park or National Landscape in the county, so constraints are mostly local: flood risk in the Nene valley, landscape and heritage. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, urban extensions, farm buildings and village infill, plus former industrial land in the towns.
