About this location
Beautifully Styled Old Rectory from the Victorian period, with expansive grounds, church views, and heritage features in Northamptonshire
An exceptional shoot location and country house location: a Victorian Gothic rectory built in 1855, set in multiple acres of landscaped gardens, and surrounded by open countryside and uninterrupted views. A 15th-century church with a pinnacled tower provides a striking eastern backdrop, visible from both the house and garden.
Located in an unspoilt Northamptonshire village, this former Old Rectory combines historic architecture, gracious interiors, and extensive outdoor amenities, all within easy reach of London and major transport routes.
The house is approached via a sweeping tree-lined driveway, which leads to a gravelled turning circle and traditional coach house.
The property's limestone façade, stone mullioned windows, and Collyweston slate roof deliver authenticity ideal for period drama and costume productions, while recent refurbishments ensure a high-spec, versatile interior with strong ceiling heights, excellent natural light, and original detailing throughout.
