There are only a few brands of 'Double' ovens that will fit below a worktop, normally the plinth is ommited, as the unit sits on the floor.
Most single ovens are the same size so if you are replacing an existing oven the new one will slide easily into the same cap.
Double ovens are (mostly?) too tall to fit into the space below a worktop. Even if it does then your electric supply will probably be unsuitable.
Single ovens are powered from a 13a outlet. Double ovens require 20a minimum (usually) and need to have their own circuit from the consumer unit (fuseboard).
This has been answered better than I would of done,Just check the dimensions of the new proposed appliance.You can seethem at any kitchen showroom.You MAY HAVE TO REMODEL THE KITCHEN to have this double oven fitted and possibly add some new electrics
unless you want to lay on the floor to see whats in the oven the answer is no. they are made to go in an oven housing unit.
If the space is wide enough no problemo, if not, you may as well look out for a handy paddle for the canoe you are setting sail in.
