Plans have been submitted to convert two Edwardian properties in Northampton's Cultural Quarter into a boutique hotel and restaurant.

The properties on Guildhall Road in the city centre are located opposite the Northampton Museum and were built initially for residential use but more recently had been converted to office and storage use. Planning approval would see a change of use into a 13 bedroom boutique hotel and restaurant. The plans are part of a wider plan to regenerate the area.

Guildhall Road includes a range of historic buildings, including a former hotel built in the 1800s which now houses the Contemporary Art Northampton gallery, as well as the Royal and Derngate Theatre and the Northampton Museum.
