New Homes in Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire has a wealth of attractions and ideas for great days out for locals and visitors alike. 

It’s in the perfect spot for venturing further afield too, as this East Midlands county is bordered by Leicestershire, Rutland, and Lincolnshire to the north, Cambridgeshire to the east, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire to the south, and Warwickshire to the west. 

Bursting with pretty and characterful villages, including the thatched cottages of Great Houghton and the impressive period homes of Abington and Abington Vale, Northamptonshire is often quite rightly described as the ‘Rose of the Shires’.
