It is believed the two offenders climbed over a gate at the rear of the house in Nether Jackson Court, Blackthorn, and gained access via a back door between 10pm and 11pm.
But once they were inside, they were disturbed and fled the house empty-handed.
The offenders are described as white males, aged in their late teens, about 6ft and of slim build.
They were both wearing dark clothing, balaclavas and gloves.
Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 quoting reference number 19000683096.
