Location:
Maidford is a small and peaceful village in South Northamptonshire, set along a tiny tributary of the River Tove and lying below the high ground that stretches westward towards Fawsley Hall. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the village enjoys a rural setting while still being within easy reach of everyday amenities in the nearby market town of Towcester, around eight miles to the southeast, which offers supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities including a swimming pool and gym. Daventry, approximately ten miles to the north, provides further shopping, dining, and recreational options.

For families, there are well-regarded schools in the surrounding area, including Blakesley Church of England Primary School and Nicholas Hawksmoor Primary School in Towcester. Secondary education is available at Sponne School in Towcester, which has been rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, while independent schools such as Northampton High School for Girls and Winchester House School in Brackley are within a reasonable distance.

The surrounding countryside offers numerous scenic walks right from Maidford's doorstep, perfect for nature enthusiasts. Additionally, the nearby Canons Ashby, a National Trust property, provides a fascinating historical and cultural experience and is a lovely place to visit to enjoy the working gardens followed by tea and cakes at the café.

Despite its rural feel, Maidford is well connected by road, with the A5 and A43 providing easy access to the M1 and M40. This makes it a convenient location for commuters travelling to Northampton, Milton Keynes, or Oxford. Rail services are available from Northampton and Banbury, offering direct connections to London and Birmingham.
