Thinking of Moving to Farthingstone?
Farthingstone is a lovely village situated on the brow of a hill and surrounded by delightful countryside. It is one of the most desirable places to live in Northamptonshire with many picturesque stone houses. 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.
Farthingstone is less than a 40-minute commute to Milton Keynes where a wide range of shops and facilities are available as well as Milton Keynes Central Railway Station with direct and frequent trains to London Euston.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

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!
