Take a look at 10 locations in Northamptonshire that made it to the Muddy Stilettos’ expert guide:
9. Middleton Cheney
Bordering the Cotswolds and just a few minutes from the historic market town of Banbury, Middleton Cheney straddles the best of both worlds. Muddy Stilettos describes it as a good sized village with a vibrant and arty community, within easy reach of the M40. Nearby attractions include Thenford Arboretum, National Trust Canons Ashby and Sulgrave Manor. Detached houses within the village command around £445,962, semis are £341,111, and terraced houses sell for an average of £440,000. Photo: Muddy Stilettos
10. Long Buckby
Great bang for your “buck” in a well connected and bustling village, Long Buckby is teasingly close to the A5 and M1 Motorway but keeps that close-knit rural community feel with lots going on including a thriving foodie scene. The Grand Union Canal laps around the edge of the village lending what might otherwise be a rather sedate spot quite an upbeat vibe with the passing footfall it brings. Nearby attractions include Holdenby House, Althorp House and Whilton Mill karting. Most homes sold in Long Buckby during the last year were detached properties at around £434,417. Terraced properties sold for an average of £232,167, with semi-detached properties fetching around £305,556. Photo: Muddy Stilettos
