Why Grovelands
All the connectivity, none of the town centre costs.
Grovelands sits just off the West Haddon Road in East Haddon — close enough to Northampton for daily commutes and client meetings, far enough out that you’re paying for space rather than postcode. Fibre broadband, plentiful free parking, and leases from three months.
The park is a converted agricultural site, developed in phases since 2006 into 20 modern office suites ranging from 500 to 8,000 sq ft. Each block is built around an internal core, which means suites can be adjusted in size as the business in them grows.

What it costs
One figure per square foot, not five bills.
Office space near Northampton is usually quoted as rent alone, with broadband, parking, cleaning, insurance and air conditioning arriving separately afterwards. At Grovelands the service charge absorbs all of it, so the number below is close to what you will actually pay.
| Per sq ft | 500 sq ft suite — per year | Per month | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rent | £18.00 | £9,000 | £750 |
| Service charge | £4.25 | £2,125 | £177 |
| Total | £22.25 | £11,125 | £927 |
That is our smallest suite, at around £927 a month all in. The rate is the same whatever size you take, so any suite can be worked out from the per-square-foot column.
The service charge covers fibre broadband at 100Mbps or better, buildings insurance, free parking, air conditioning and servicing, fire alarm certification, CCTV, door entry, waste collection, cleaning of all common parts, window cleaning, landscaping, car park upkeep and winter gritting. Business rates are payable separately, and smaller suites may qualify for small business rates relief.

Town centre vs here
Why Northampton businesses look outside the ring road.
You pay for floor, not frontage
A rural business park charges for the space itself rather than the address. The same budget buys a noticeably larger suite here than in central Northampton, and the service charge means fewer surprise invoices across the year.
Staff stop budgeting for it
Town-centre parking is a real and recurring cost for a team, in money and in the ten minutes spent circling for a space. Here it is free, immediately outside the door, and included.
Genuinely solar-powered
A 1.5MW solar array on the park's own land has run since 2023, producing around four times more electricity than the whole park uses — so Grovelands is a net exporter of clean energy. Generated here, not bought as a green tariff, which makes it straightforward to evidence in ESG reporting.
Space that resizes
Every block is built around an internal core, so a suite can be enlarged, subdivided or combined with the one next door. Growth doesn't have to mean moving out of the county.
Gym, café and conference suite
Planning permission is approved for a new building with a gym and fitness studio, a ground-floor coffee shop, and a first-floor conference suite with meeting rooms, plus an expanded car park.
Somewhere people want to be
Four converted agricultural blocks around a courtyard, with hedgerow and open country on every side. It reads well to clients arriving for a meeting, and it is a straightforwardly nicer place to spend a Tuesday.
Questions
Renting an office near Northampton
Where is Grovelands, and how far is it from Northampton?
Grovelands Business Park is on the West Haddon Road at East Haddon, Northampton NN6 8FB — around 20 minutes from Northampton town centre. The usual route is the A428 west out of Northampton, or the A5 north. The M1 is close at J18, and J15A gives a southern approach.
How much does it cost to rent an office near Northampton?
Rent at Grovelands is £18.00 per sq ft, with a service charge of £4.25 per sq ft — £22.25 per sq ft all in. A 500 sq ft suite, our smallest, works out at £11,125 a year including the service charge — about £927 a month. That single figure covers fibre broadband, parking, air conditioning, cleaning, buildings insurance and grounds maintenance, which in town-centre space are usually billed separately.
What does the service charge include?
Fibre broadband at a minimum of 100Mbps, buildings insurance, free on-site parking, mains water, air conditioning and its servicing, fire alarm maintenance and certification, CCTV of common areas, emergency lighting, door entry, waste collection, cleaning of all common parts, quarterly exterior window cleaning, landscaping and mowing, car park and access road upkeep, gritting and snow clearance, drainage maintenance, common-area lighting and decoration.
What size offices are available to rent?
Suites run from 500 to 8,000 sq ft across 20 offices in four blocks. Each block is built around an internal core housing the restrooms, so suites can be resized or combined — two adjacent offices can be taken together as a single 3,460 sq ft space, for example. Requirements above 8,000 sq ft can usually be accommodated by combining further.
Is there parking at Grovelands?
Yes — free, unrestricted on-site parking directly outside the office blocks, for tenants and visitors, included in the service charge. There are no permits, no daily charges and no surrounding streets to compete for. An expanded car park forms part of the approved Phase 3 development.
How long is the lease?
Leases start from three months. That suits a business testing the location, growing quickly, or simply not ready to commit to years of office space before it knows what it needs. Longer terms are available for businesses that do know, and rent incentives can be discussed for the right tenant.
Is the office space powered by renewable energy?
Yes. A 1.5MW solar array on the park's own land has been operational since 2023 and supplies clean electricity across the site. It produces around four times more electricity than the whole park uses, making Grovelands a net exporter of clean energy. This is generation on site rather than a green tariff bought from a supplier, which makes it straightforward to evidence in ESG and sustainability reporting.
