Windows & doors in Oundle.

Oundle is a limestone market town with a public school, a tight conservation core and villages (Barnwell, Cotterstock, Glapthorn, Warmington) that look more Stamford than Peterborough. It is twenty-five minutes west of Fengate and firmly inside the area we cover, even though the county line says Northamptonshire.

North Street, West Street and the lanes around the church are not the place for a thick white casement. Flush sash, Rose Collection sliding sash and composite doors in muted heritage colours are what get approved and what look right against the stone. Outside the centre, later houses and the villages take a wider range — including aluminium where a modern extension has already changed the elevation.

We have the same conservation-area conversation here that we have in Stamford and Godmanchester: what the officer will accept, what the house actually needs thermally, and how close those two things can be. Free survey, own fitters, FENSA, 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
