Location:
Hardingstone is an attractive village bordering the tranquil Delapré Abbey and is approximately 1 mile from Northampton town centre. The village has its fair share of historic buildings and is positioned on the southern edge of the town, looking from its hilltop position across the Nene valley.
Hardingstone has two traditional public houses, The Crown, and The Sun together with a good range of amenities and facilities including a post office, nearby Waitrose, newsagents, and several hairdressers. A popular Garden Centre is also close by, and schooling is well served by Hardingstone Primary School and Northampton High School for Girls.
Hardingstone is popular with commuters having easy access to Junction 15 of the M1, and both Northampton and Milton Keynes Railway Stations provide regular intercity services to Birmingham New Street, and London Euston.
On the edge of the village can be found one of only three remaining Eleanor crosses in the country. The historic cross commemorates the resting at nearby Delapré Abbey of the body of Queen Eleanor of Castile while King Edward I stayed at nearby Northampton Castle.
Hardingstone is an excellent choice for anyone looking to settle in a Northampton village and offers a great balance of convenience, period charm, and good amenities.
