Properties for Sale and Rent in Northampton

A rich history, stately homes and rolling countryside are just a few of the reasons for settling in Northamptonshire. Affordable housing, green spaces, regeneration and 1-hr train journey times into London. No wonder the property market in Northampton is the fastest-moving in Britain.

Northamptonshire occupies a prime position in the heart of England, and is known as the ‘rose of the shires’.

You can take your pick from a traditional rural lifestyle in a village filled with thatched cottages, parish churches and winding country lanes, or choose a vibrant town that boasts excellent rail and road links.

The county has no major cities, which has helped it to keep its predominately rural feel. Northampton is the largest settlement in the area, closely followed by Kettering and Corby. Its history as a place of industry is still evident in its now-converted mills and factories.

House prices give home-hunters another incentive to move here – the current average is £235,000, although prices in the most desirable villages can far exceed this.

Northampton has an attractive mix of Georgian and Victorian housing as well as more contemporary flats in factory and mill conversions. Check out East Park Parade or St Georges Avenue for very large stately Victorian properties, or hunt along Abington Park Crescent for late Edwardian semis. For a flat in an impressive converted factory, take a look at the apartments with exposed beams and brickwork on Clare Street.
