Location
The property is located in the village of Lower Weedon within walking distance of local amenities and countryside walks. Originally known as Weedon-Bec this historic village lies close to the Roman Watling Street where it crosses the river Nene. The Grand Union canal passes through the village providing tranquil waterside walks.
A prominent feature of the village is the former Royal Ordnance Depot, originally developed as a secure military facility in the Napoleonic era and reputedly intended as a safe inland retreat for George III and his family. Today, the Depot has been sensitively adapted to house artisan workshops, antique stores, bookshops, creative studios, offices, and a microbrewery that hosts regular food and craft events.
Weedon is located close to the M1 motorway, making easy access for commuters to reach London or other major cities. There are also excellent transport links with nearby towns such as Daventry, Towcester, Northampton, and Rugby.
With green spaces, waterways, and good local amenities including a primary school, doctors surgery, shops, pubs, and restaurants; for those looking for a village location with superb facilities, Lower Weedon is the perfect location.
