5. 7. Brackley
Muddy Stilettos said: “It’s an elegant market town built from warm, honey coloured stone. There’s a sedate village vibe, but it’s well connected by road and it’s easy to zoom to London and Oxford.” Photo: Muddy Stilettos
6. 6. Oundle
Muddy Stilettos said: “Brimming with old world charm and character, Oundle is assuredly the posh bit of Northamptonshire, set as it is in a perfectly picturesque rural bubble. “Thankfully, the culture and foodie scene is bang up to date and, whilst you could live here and forget London even exists, you can also get there in a jiffy.

7. 5. Earls Barton
Muddy Stilettos said: “Peaceful village life with the bustle and amenities befitting a town, there’s loads going on here from am dram to a lively marina and a rich industrial history visible in the smattering of factory and warehouse conversions. “There’s even a summer carnival. And all within a fairly decent commute of London.” Photo: Muddy Stilettos
8. 4. Weedon
Muddy Stilettos said: “A large, vibrant village with both Watling Street (famous Roman road – look it up!) and the Grand Union Canal meandering alongside, and within a stone’s throw of the M1 junction 16, Weedon is ideal for commuting. “But there’s a lot more to this buzzing community than just location. Steeped in history, you’ll find oodles of character here and a ton of brilliant businesses from fitness and foodie to bookshops and bridal boutiques.” Photo: Muddy Stilettos
