Thinking of moving to Barby?
Situated between Rugby and Daventry on Northamptonshire’s border with Warwickshire, Barby occupies an elevated position overlooking the River Leam and Rainsbrook valleys.
Nestled in a rural environment and conveniently positioned for access to the motorway networks, Barby is a charming village with an active community.
Historical points of note include the remains of a medieval motte and bailey which can still be seen to the north of the village at Castle Mound.
The village is also mentioned in Tom Brown’s Schooldays, in connection with the Barby Run. This event, which starts from Rugby School, still takes place today!
Amenities and facilities include a Church of England primary school, general store and post office, a garden centre, a village hall, and a children’s play area. The Arnold Arms is a popular public house which serves great food and drink.
The local Church dates from the 13th Century and has a square tower visible from all approaches to the village.
Barby Cricket Ground is located in Longdown Lane opposite the windmill. The club plays in the Warwickshire League and has men’s, women’s, and junior sides.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
We have provided professional property advice in and around Northamptonshire since 2003. However, our connections with the county go much further back and we are proud to have a deep bond with the area, the communities, the people, and the buildings.
Photography
Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale. Our professional photography is captured using the highest quality professional grade cameras, lenses and flashes. We do not use fish-eye lenses to give a false impression; however, we will spend time preparing and improving the RAW image data in professional software to ensure that your home is presented in its best light with images that will induce a ‘show-home’ appeal.
Floor Plans
Our in-house surveyors are experienced CAD operatives and we draft all our own floor plans. This enables us to ensure a higher degree of accuracy than the typical estate agent floor plan. We also provide a level of detail that enables potential purchasers to understand the space and amenities within your home. We obtain our measurements for the floor plans using the latest laser scanners which helps to ensure quick, safe, and accurate collection of data.
3D Virtual Tours (Matterport)
As standard on all of our properties, David Cosby Estate Agents provide 3D Virtual Matterport Tours. This is a wonderful visual tool that creates 'an always-open house' allowing potential purchasers a high fidelity tour of your property that will be perfectly staged 100% of the time. It even enables the viewer to take dimensions - critical for planning their new furniture layouts!
