Location:
Litchborough is a charming rural village situated in the picturesque Northamptonshire countryside, not far from the market town of Towcester. Surrounded by rolling hills and agricultural land, this quiet setting offers a tranquil place to set down roots.
Architecturally, the village boasts a pleasing mix of traditional stone cottages and more prestigious country homes, such as the Grade II Listed Litchborough Hall.
Litchborough is part of the Lambfold Benefice, which includes four local villages. The Grade II* Listed Church of St. Martin, located in the centre of the village, is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture, featuring an embattled tower adorned with unique grotesque heads. Inside, it houses relics and stained-glass windows, notably including a recumbent effigy of Sir John Needham, a significant figure in Litchborough's history.
Litchborough's location makes it an ideal spot for those seeking the peace and quiet of rural life while still having access to the amenities and services provided in Towcester and the surrounding areas. The village's scenic beauty is complemented by its network of footpaths and bridleways, offering ample opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding, allowing residents and visitors to fully immerse themselves in the countryside.
For families residing in or considering moving to Litchborough, the area is served by several state schools, including Blakesley Church of England Primary School, which offers a community-oriented educational environment. For secondary education, students typically attend schools in the larger nearby towns such as Campion School in Bugbrooke and Sponne School in Towcester. Both schools offer a broad curriculum catering to students aged 11 to 18 years. Private schooling options in the region include Northampton High School and Quinton House School in Upton.
Given its access to major roads, proximity to towns with rail services to London and other cities, and the quality of life it offers, Litchborough is an ideal option for commuters. It provides a balanced lifestyle for professionals who work in the city but seek a peaceful retreat at home.
