Thinking of Moving to Daventry?
The historic market town of Daventry is surrounded by beautiful countryside, picture postcard villages, and easy commuting for a perfect work-life balance. There is a wealth of independent shopping outlets along the picturesque Sheaf Street, coupled with larger retail outlets and great local sporting facilities. Daventry also has two picturesque reservoirs – Drayton Reservoir and Daventry Country Park.
A Brief History of Daventry
The small town of Daventry has a recorded history stretching back nearly a thousand years.
In the 11th century, Daventry was the site of a fortified castle that was most likely built during the reign of William the Conqueror. The castle was the home of the powerful Bohun family, who held the title of Earls of Hereford and Earls of Northampton. The castle was also the residence of Edward, the Black Prince, in 1360.
In the 13th century, Daventry was granted a market charter by King John. This allowed the town to host a weekly market, which it still does today. This market has become a popular attraction offering a wide range of local produce and crafts.
In the 16th century, Daventry was a Puritan stronghold. It was home to a number of prominent Puritan leaders, including William Dowsing, who led the destruction of icons and stained glass windows in churches throughout East Anglia.
During the English Civil War, Daventry was captured by the Royalists in 1645. The town was then besieged by the Parliamentarians for three weeks before it was finally taken by the Parliamentarians

Photography
Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale. Our professional photography is captured using the highest quality professional grade cameras, lenses and flashes. We do not use fish-eye lenses to give a false impression; however, we will spend time preparing and improving the RAW image data in professional software to ensure that your home is presented in its best light with images that will induce a ‘show-home’ appeal.
Floor Plans
Our in-house surveyors are experienced CAD operatives and we draft all our own floor plans. This enables us to ensure a higher degree of accuracy than the typical estate agent floor plan. We also provide a level of detail that enables potential purchasers to understand the space and amenities within your home. We obtain our measurements for the floor plans using the latest laser scanners which helps to ensure quick, safe, and accurate collection of data.
3D Virtual Tours (Matterport)
As standard on all of our properties, David Cosby Estate Agents provide 3D Virtual Matterport Tours. This is a wonderful visual tool that creates 'an always-open house' allowing potential purchasers a high fidelity tour of your property that will be perfectly staged 100% of the time. It even enables the viewer to take dimensions - critical for planning their new furniture layouts!
