3 The Pound“The location was the main aspect that first attracted us to the property as we were renting locally in Althorp Park. I was born in Great Brington in the house next door! and I always wanted to come back here,” says Pat. “The property has a wonderful welcoming and homely feel throughout”.

“We are going to miss the area when we leave and also our friends and neighbours. There is a Post Office in the village, which, although small sells most essentials and there is also a lovely pub the famous Althorp Coaching Inn. Daventry is a short car journey along with Northampton and Milton Keynes. There is a train station at Long Buckby about four miles away. The area has many places to go on long walks and is particularly good if you have dogs”.

“We have lived at the property since 1998 and have made improvements including a dining room and a garden room/fourth bedroom with on-suite, which is ideal when the family come to stay. The dining room is our favourite as the wood burner makes a lovely cosy atmosphere in the winter months”.

“The rear garden is completely enclosed which has a paved and lawn area ideal for barbecues and of course completely safe for dogs”.

“This would make the perfect family home for anyone looking to relocate to an outstanding area and peaceful home. We have some lovely memories here and the surrounding area as my parents, grandparents and great grandparents lived locally. We know that this will be a brilliant home for the new owners”*
