Residential Areas
The county offers an excellent array of housing options and its central location and easy transport links mean that many find it easy to live in the outlying regions and delightful surrounding villages.
The housing market in Northampton is quite highly priced, which has been attributed to the buoyant local economy and the town's transportation links. The average first-time buyer paid £109,250 in 2005/06.
If you're seeking a county life, imagine a corner of England which is just how you thought it would be, with sleepy villages of thatch and stone cottages, village greens and traditional pubs. Walk knee-deep in blue bells, along serene waterways, through winding country lanes and footpaths, and around charming thatch and stone villages – all can be found in Northamptonshire.
