Regular visitors include Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt, to name a few. There’s all sorts of exciting development here, from plentiful housing to engineering and technology hubs and super luxe hospitality, but when the crowds go home, the heart of this charming village is it’s vibrant community."

On the periphery of Northampton, Hardingstone strikes the perfect balance between town and country, with village vibes, good schools on the doorstep and easy access to top restaurants and culture. All just moments from fantastic transport links."
