Braunston is a hilltop village in the West Northamptonshire area, sitting within a rural setting on the Northamptonshire and Warwickshire border. It has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, listed as a settlement in the Domesday Book of 1086 and is often referred to as the 'Heart of the Waterways' owing to its famous canal junction between Oxford Canal and the Grand Union Canal, and its picturesque marina. Braunston's All Saints' Church, known as the 'Cathedral of the Canals' has overlooked the village since the early 13th century and acts as a communal hub for the village.

It is well located just off the A45 main road, which connects Daventry and Rugby and provides a link to the M45 to the north.

Braunston village provides a wide range of facilities and amenities including but not limited to a primary school, public houses, a selection of shops including butchers, hairdressers, a Post Office, a fish and chip shop, and car servicing garage.

Braunston benefits from the Braunston C.E Primary School, situated within approximately 200 meters of the site, and is within the catchment area for numerous secondary schools including Daventry Hill School, Princethorpe College, and Rugby School.
