Within the village is a wonderful selection of attractive and historic ironstone properties and The Manor takes a prominent position in the centre. As well as an active village hall offering many clubs and groups for the community, East Haddon offers some excellent recreational activities to include a cricket club, tennis court and playing fields with a football pitch. The village is also home to the Red Lion public house.
Schooling in the area is great with a primary school in the village and secondary education at the highly regarded Guilsborough School. Independent schooling nearby includes Spratton Hall as well as Rugby, Wellingborough and Oundle.
Further shopping and leisure facilities can be found in both Rugby and Northampton where there are also mainline train services to London taking less than one hour. Despite the rural location, the M1, M6 and A14 motorways are all within easy reach.
