Thinking of moving to Wappenham?
Located in the Heart of England 4 miles southwest of Towcester, the ancient linear village of Wappenham has a small, friendly community with many attractive Listed properties built from local Helmdon stone or red brick.
Samuel Johnson famously said that when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life. It is unlikely he would have said the same of Wappenham, but this beautiful village retains many charms that could not be found in the Capital, not least being the delightful surrounding Northamptonshire countryside and beauty spots, including Bucknell Woods, offering country walks and picnic areas.
There is an elegant red brick rectory next to St Marys Church which was designed for Samuel Johnson’s father by the renowned architect Sir Gilbert Scott. Sir Gilbert Scott also designed the village school, two houses, and a granary. In addition to his work as an architect, Scott was also a prolific writer and a passionate advocate for the preservation of historic buildings. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877, which is still active today.
The beautiful St Mary’s Church in Wappenham is well worth a visit and has a very unusual one-handed clock dating to the Elizabethan era.
Back in the Middle Ages, Wappenham was a forest village subject to special laws and privileges and with direct connections to the king. Wappenham stood at the crossroads of England, with the Welsh Lane and Oxford Lane crossing at the top of the parish, Watling Street a few minutes ride away, and important roads to Brackley Buckingham and beyond skirting its sides.
Wappenham is well-situated for easy access to the M1 at junction 15a north of Towcester, the M40 junction 11 at Banbury, and Intercity rail services at Milton Keynes, making it a convenient location for commuters.
Wappenham also benefits from a good selection of nearby schools, including St Loys Primary Academy in Weedon Lois, Sponne School in Towcester. Private schools can be found at Akeley Wood, Winchester House, Brackley, and Stowe School.
For those who enjoy an occasional day in The Cotswolds, you can be in Burford Hight Street in about an hour.
For those seeking tranquillity without the feeling of seclusion, Wappenham may be the ideal location.

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.

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.

How do we value your home? The Comparable Method Explained
What Is the Comparable Method of Valuation?
The comparable method of valuation relies on the principle of substitution: buyers typically will not pay more for a property than they would for a similar one in the same market. We analyse data from recent sales of comparable properties to determine a realistic market value for your home.
This method works particularly well for residential properties, where we can access a wealth of data on similar homes in your area.
