3 Bed Semi-Detached House, Single Let, Northampton, NN7 3QZ £279,950

Bugbrooke has a long history, with Heygate's Mill still operating on a site that has housed a mill for nearly a thousand years. The village also retains a number of attractive ironstone cottages, while the 13th-century parish church of St Michael and All Angels remains a focal point for the community.

There is an excellent range of facilities. Sporting enthusiasts are well served with rugby, football, cricket and badminton clubs, together with a marina on the Grand Union Canal. Everyday needs are met by a doctor's surgery with pharmacy, post office, village shop, takeaways, and the popular Bakers Arms public house which also serves food. The village also benefits from a primary school, with secondary education provided by Campion School.

Bugbrooke offers a genuine sense of community within a traditional rural setting, whilst enjoying excellent road links to Northampton, Towcester and Milton Keynes, and convenient rail connections from nearby Long Buckby. It could be just the place for those with a desire for village life without having to forgo all the advantages of larger centres of population.
