A peaceful enclave in Northamptonshire's oldest town
Malthouse Court is built on the site of a former brewery, close to the market place. It is a peaceful enclave set in a lovely garden adjacent to open countryside, and is approached through an impressive stone archway from Watling Street. The two- and three-bedroom cottages and apartments are set around three sides of a grassed courtyard and are built in slate and brick with stone detailing.
Towcester is the oldest town in the county, hence many of the houses on the main street are listed and the whole central area of the town is in a conservation area. It has a full range of shops and amenities, all within easy walking distance of the estate, including a Waitrose and other major supermarkets, regular local markets, banks, surgeries and a library. Towcester itself has excellent sporting and leisure facilities and is, of course, renown for its horse racing, as well as being close to the motor-racing circuit at Silverstone. Opportunities to walk abound as the town marks the start of Grafton Way and Knightley Way, both long-distance footpaths travelling north and south, and the nearby Nene Way stretches 67 miles along the banks of the River Nene. The city of Northampton, with its rich and varied history, lies just nine miles to the north of the estate and boasts a wide array of shops and restaurants, several pretty parks, an attractive cathedral and a pleasant marina and waterside area.

Broadway sits at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment in a beautiful landscape with the main high street running gently down the final slope to meet the green by the Lygon Arms Hotel. It is full of handsome eighteenth century houses set back from the road built in mellow Cotswold stone with a honey coloured texture creating a picture postcard world. Broadway Tower at the top of Broadway Hill affords fine views across the Vale of Evesham and on a fine day many counties can be seen.
