Below are the top ten places to live in Northamptonshire in 2023, according to Muddy Stilettos, including what the what’s on guide has written about each place.
9. 3. Daventry
Muddy Stilettos said: “This dynamic and well-connected market town has a wealth of new housing but has kept hold of its charming character. “It’s also having a bit of a renaissance, with cute shops springing up in the 16th century town centre, jostling for place with edgy bars and cosy cafes.” Photo: Muddy Stilettos
10. 2. Long Buckby
Muddy Stilettos said: “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 loads 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.” Photo: Muddy Stilettos
11. 1. Towcester
Muddy Stilettos said: “Towcester has had something of a renaissance in recent years, with the redevelopment of the town’s Moat Lane area and the opening up of the Water Meadows parklands (previously a part of Easton Neston estate, the Hawksmoor designed stately home now owned by Russian fashion designer Leon Max) prompting a swathe of new independent businesses to pop up in sync with lots of new housing development. “The A5 Watling Street cuts through the middle of town, allowing for easy access to Milton Keynes, and the A43 will take you straight up to the M1.” Photo: Muddy Stilettos
