Location

West Farndon is a tiny hamlet in the civil parish of Woodford cum Membris, about 5 miles (8 km) south-west of Daventry.  It first appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as two small manors, each with a population of only a few households. During the medieval period it formed one of three distinct settlements—West Farndon, Hinton and Woodford—which later became united within the same parish.  Although it is quiet today, it was once a much larger medieval settlement and is regarded as one of Northamptonshire's many deserted or shrunken medieval villages. Surrounded by some of the county's most beautiful rolling countryside, the nearby village of Woodford Halse provides a range of everyday amenities including shops, schooling and local services, whilst excellent road and rail links offer convenient access to Banbury, Daventry and beyond.  Banbury Rail Station is situated approximately 10 mile distant.

Offering an enviable balance of modern living, character features and an outstanding rural setting, this beautifully renovated cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a light-filled country home in an exceptionally special location.
