Location:
Farthingstone is a picturesque village situated on the brow of a hill and surrounded by delightful Northamptonshire countryside.

Situated in the centre of the village is The Joymead, an open space bequeathed to the villagers by the Agnew family. It contains immaculately maintained and beautiful gardens together with a poignant cloister area beneath a Collyweston slate roof to serve as a war memorial.

The local pub, The Kings Arms, is a free house and attracts many visitors who delight both in the secret garden and the fantastic real ales and fine foods.

Situated equidistant between the market towns of Towcester and Daventry, Farthingstone is less than a 40-minute commute to Milton Keynes where further facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway with direct and frequent trains to London Euston. The main arterial roads of the M1 and M40 are also within easy reach.
