Top tips for a Oundle Home Buyers Survey
The oldest building in Oundle is the Talbot Hotel, which is an Elizabethan hotel. Parts of the hotel are thought to have been part of an inn in the 1500s. It was originally built from wood, but it was renovated with stone ruins from the nearby Fotheringhay Castle. There are other Elizabethan houses still standing in and around Peterborough such as those in Orton Waterville.
Lots of developments occurred during the Georgian era so the town is generally considered a Georgian market town. Properties from this era are such as those on Church Street and Upper Benefield.
The nearest new development area to Oundle is the Bluebelle development situated in Corby that provides new detached homes that have two, three or four bedrooms.
