Location:

Farthingstone is a picturesque village situated on the brow of a hill and surrounded by delightful Northamptonshire countryside.

Located in the centre of the village is The Joy Mead, an open space bequeathed to the villagers by the Agnew family. It contains immaculately maintained and beautiful gardens together with a poignant cloister area beneath a Collyweston slate roof to serve as a war memorial.

The local pub, The Kings Arms, is a free house and attracts many visitors who delight both in the secret garden and the fantastic real ales and fine foods.

Situated equidistant between the market towns of Towcester and Daventry, Farthingstone is less than a 40-minute commute to Milton Keynes where further facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway with direct and frequent trains to London Euston. The main arterial roads of the M1 and M40 are also within easy reach.

Property Details:

The approved design is for a modern, detached property featuring three double en-suite bedrooms, encompassing 2,185 sq.ft. The main living areas are located on the first floor to maximise the stunning countryside views and to allow garden access due to the site's slope.

The layout includes a sitting room with a balcony and stairs to the ground floor, and a kitchen/family/dining room with a balcony. The ground floor will house the three double en-suite bedrooms, a cloakroom, utility room, and access to the integral double garage.
