Location:
The pretty Northamptonshire village of Overstone provides a perfect blend of good local facilities, nearby green spaces and historical monuments whilst being situated less than 8 miles from Northampton town centre.
Located within easy reach of the M1, trains also run frequently from Northampton Railway Station to Coventry, Birmingham, Milton Keynes, and London Euston.
Overstone boasts its own village store with Post Office, groceries, and off licence and the property is also a 10-minute drive to further facilities at The Weston Favell Shopping Centre as well as the popular Beckworth Emporium garden centre and café known for its local produce and gifts.
Primary education is provided at Overstone School and secondary education is available at Moulton School with several options for independent schooling available at Overstone Park and Pitsford and further afield at Spratton, Wellingborough and Oundle. A new mixed secondary school is also being built in nearby Moulton by the well regarded Northampton School for Boys Academy.
One of the notable landmarks in Overstone is Overstone Park, a historic estate that dates back to the 19th century. The estate features a grand mansion, Overstone Hall which tragically suffered a devastating fire. Since then, the hall has remained a ruin but continues to captivate visitors with echoes of its illustrious past and architectural grandeur.
Overstone Park itself now serves as a private golf and leisure club. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, the park offers well-maintained grounds, a championship golf course, fitness facilities, an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and a spa. The clubhouse provides dining options and hosts various events, making Overstone Park an ideal destination for leisure activities and special occasions.
Another outstanding architectural feature of Overstone has to be the Pytchley Gates, a Grade II listed monument that originally stood at the entrance of Pytchley Hall before being relocated to the formal entrance of Overstone Hall.
Overstone Village is also fortunate to be close to the charming natural retreat known as Sywell Country Park. The park features a picturesque reservoir, meandering paths, and lush woodlands, inviting visitors to enjoy leisurely walks and cycling. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse wildlife and flora, while fishing spots and a children's play area cater to outdoor activities. With ample picnic spots and a serene atmosphere, Sywell Country Park provides a peaceful escape for individuals and families seeking relaxation in the countryside.
For anyone looking to settle in a charming village with convenient amenities, proximity to larger towns and cities, and notable landmarks Overstone ticks all the boxes.
