Village Pride

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 instil a sense of belonging and pride.
We have set out below some of the more notable facts and historical events in Great Houghton.

Great Houghton Location

Great Houghton is a pretty village located on the elevated southern slopes of the Nene valley near to the market town of Northampton but still far enough away to maintain a countryside feel. The village is well situated for commuting with easy access to Northampton town centre, the M1 motorway, and trains from Northampton Railway Station are direct to London Euston.

Great Houghton’s Church of St Mary the Virgin

The classically shaped spire of Great Houghton’s Church of St Mary the Virgin is an attractive landmark. The prominence of this impressive Georgian spire is made more impressive due to the elevation of the village being on the upper slopes of the Nene Valley. The construction fees for the spire were raised in 1754 and partly funded by the sale of the original church bells. This led to the following rhyme being coined (possibly by the residents of nearby Little Houghton!

“Great Houghton folk, foolish people. Sold there bells to build a steeple!”

Public Houses of Great Houghton

The village boasts two popular, traditional local pubs – The Old Cherry Tree Inn and The White Hart Inn, both of which provide fantastic ales and food.

Amenities and Schooling

Great Houghton has a fabulous village hall (Parsons Memorial Hall) which hosts many activities and caters for private venues. It is set within nine acres of well maintained playing fields. Schooling is located in the adjacent village of Little Houghton for primary age children, and at the nearby Northampton Boys School or The Academy in Northampton. Private schooling is available at Wellingborough, Northampton High School for Girls and Quinton House.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow, where to start? David Crosby Estate Agents are just the best. From the initial meeting, they have been honest, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, approachable… I could go on… they offered a service that could not be matched by any other local Estate Agent, the marketing of my home was meticulous and the technology used was very cutting edge. Once the property was sold the process was handed to Natasha who worked hard to keep the momentum of the sale going and kept me informed every step of the way. Her dedication to ensuring a smooth transaction was above and beyond, providing advice and support throughout. I would highly recommend David Crosby Estate Agents and if I ever move again, I know who I am choosing to sell my house – thank you all.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My boyfriend and I bought out first house recently and to say that the team at David Cosby were great would be an understatement, they were absolutely fantastic! They guided us through every step, answered every query and maintained communication throughout. They were patient and flexible and incredibly supportive. It was a first experience for us and we are beyond thrilled that we were lucky enough to go through this process with David Cosby Estate Agent and Surveyor at our side. We love our new home!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend davidcosby highly enough. They helped me sell my mums property after she passed away. They are so professional, kind and helpful. Natasha kept me (and the buyers) up to date all the time, particularly with probate involved. From start to finish a fantastic service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service provided by Natasha, David and the others was outstanding.

They were amazingly efficient in ensuring that the sale of our property went as smoothly as possible. They guided us in our decision about which of the many offers we should accept, chased up everyone involved including solicitors, lenders and the purchasers and in the last few weeks before completion, they arranged a survey that had suddenly become necessary.

Although they were not officially involved in the purchase of our new property, their input in that transaction was invaluable and they even assisted on the day of the move to the new property when our sale was not yet finalised.

A first class, friendly and professional service from start to finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Natasha Cosby dealt with our house purchase in Farthingstone and I am delighted to say that she was an absolute star. From the moment we viewed our future house to the final completion, Natasha kept us updated and informed at every step. Indeed she was far better at keeping us informed than our own solicitor!
Although moving house is always stressful, Natasha eased the path for everyone involved and as completion drew closer ensured that all concerned were kept fully informed and aware of the requirements.
We are both delighted with our new house and very grateful for all the hard work and commitment by David Cosby Chartered Surveyors & Estate Agents and in particular Natasha.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David, Natasha, Rachael and Virginia at David Cosby provide the most outstanding personalised service.

Natasha was extremely professional and proactive throughout the whole process. She went far beyond what I was expecting and had experienced with other agents previously. Nothing was ever too much for the team to do.

I used them both for surveying and marketing my property and I was impressed with the knowledge, dedication and time they were able to offer. I highly recommend them and will certainly be using their services again. They have the added benefit of being able to offer marketing, surveying and planning under one roof which is so helpful with big projects.

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!
