Duston is a civil parish located approximately 2 miles west of Northampton town centre. The area combines a traditional village atmosphere, especially along Main Road, with newer developments such as St. Giles Park, Alsace Park, and St Crispin, which is noted for its popular retail village.

There is a good range of local amenities within Duston which include a grocery store, a bakery, a newsagent, public houses, and various artisan shops and services. It is a pleasant and very practical place for everyday living, with most needs catered for within the community.

The area is also well served in terms of schooling with several primary schools and The Duston School, providing education from primary to secondary levels. Within the new St Crispin development there is a well-regarded primary school and nursery. Additionally, for those considering independent education, Quinton House School is an option in the nearby area.

Transport links are good for commuters, with easy access to the M1 and a bus service to Northampton, where there is a train station with connections to Birmingham and London.

For outdoor activities, there are a good variety of nearby local walks and parks, and the proximity of Sixfields Leisure retail park adds a variety of entertainment options with shopping, restaurants, cinema, and of course Northampton Town Football Club – ‘The Cobblers’, and Northampton Rugby Football Club – ‘The Saints’.
