LIVING
Ashton’s close-knit community
Living in Ashton is a nature lover’s dream, and
this charming Grade II Listed cottage offers
the chance to make this dream come true for
its future owners.
Cherrytree Cottage boasts three
double bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen,
a downstairs bathroom, an upstairs
washroom, front and rear gardens, and
outside storage, providing ample space
for retirees and growing families alike.
With unique features such as a thatched
roof, mullioned windows, period
doors, and Victorian fireplaces, this house is
overflowing with character. These traditional
aspects, combined with contemporary
refurbishments, culminate in a timeless sense of
style that can be appreciated by all.
But if that wasn’t enough to tempt you, then
it’s prime location should do the trick. Set on
this home is
nestled in
the heart of
a close-knit
community
one of the best plots in Ashton, Cherrytree
Cottage overlooks the village green and has
some beautiful views of the Northamptonshire
countryside. With the local pub just
the other side of the village green, this
home is nestled in the heart of a close-
knit community where residents know
each other by name.
A village as rich in history as it
is nature, people have been calling
Ashton ‘home’ since the Iron Age.
Since then it has been the location of
a Roman small town and an Edwardian ‘model
settlement’, as well as the host of the World
Conker Championships up until 2010 (the
horse chestnut trees still stand!). Today, Ashton
is most well known for being an area of natural
conservation and, of course, for the fascinating
Ashton Estate.
