A Little History of Braunston
Having a little knowledge of the area in which you live, or of where you intend to move, can provide an enormous sense of psychological wellbeing. Homes and their locality are an important part of what makes us who we are. An understanding of the history of our hometowns can instill a sense of belonging and pride.
Braunston is a picturesque village on the western edge of Northamptonshire close to the Warwickshire border. Located on a high ridge, the village affords wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
The impressive spire of All Saints’ Church in Braunston can be seen from miles around and is a beacon to travellers from both road and the Grand Union and Oxford canals.
The village once relied on trade from the canals which carried goods between London and the Midlands. Braunston canal tunnel would have once seen boatmen lying on their backs on the decks of the barges pushing with their feet against the roof of the tunnel to propel the boats for over a mile.
These waterways still play an important role in the village, albeit on a more recreational basis. Braunston boatyard / marina which was original built as the waterway’s depot lies at the crossroads of the Grand Union and Oxford canals. Today the marina is a thriving centre for boating enthusiasts and plays host to an annual narrowboat rally. The elegant Horsley Iron Works twin cast iron bridge with low elliptical arches straddles the triangular junction of the Grand Union and Oxford canals and is testimony to the ability to merge functional structures with beautiful design.
The village offers a unique combination of rural charm and modern amenities. It is located close to the M1 motorway, making it easy for commuters to get into London or other major cities. There are also excellent transport links with nearby towns such as Daventry, Northampton and Rugby.
For those looking for a peaceful place to live, Braunston Village is the perfect location. The village has many green spaces and local amenities such as shops, pubs and restaurants. The local community is friendly and welcoming with plenty of activities on offer throughout the year that attract visitors from all over the country.
The housing market in Braunston Village is varied with something for everyone from traditional cottages to modern family homes set within beautiful countryside surroundings providing an ideal location for those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience or access to modern amenities – it really does have something for everyone!

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!
