Cranford is set back from Preston Capes Road on the outskirts of the desirable village of Newnham.
Newnham is nestled in a valley to the west of Northamptonshire close to the Warwickshire border and two miles south of the market town of Daventry.
The village has attractive groupings of stone and brick houses and a cherished village green where the popular ‘Maria’s Kitchen’ at the Romer Arms provides good home cooked food and drinks.
The church of St Michael and all Angels stands on a high bank within Newnham and boasts a 15th century open battlemented tower; one of only a few open towers in the country.
A reminder of Newnham’s past agricultural industry can be found in a Grade II Listed windmill standing aloft on Newnham Hill.
The local primary school is currently Ofsted rated ‘Good’.
Notable past residents of the village include the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigel Lawson and the Elizabethan poet, Thomas Randolph.
Newnham is less than a 40-minute commute to Milton Keynes where a wide range of shops and facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway with direct and frequent trains to London Euston.
