Description

An exciting opportunity to create a bespoke development of five luxury two and three bedroomed barn conversions totalling in excess of 8,000 square feet, within the delightful rural village of Gayton. Full Planning Permission was granted by West Northants Council on the 16th of April 2025, under reference number 2025/2838/FULL, to utilise five existing agricultural barns to facilitate the development.

Gayton - The pretty village of Gayton is situated about five miles south west of Northampton town centre, about two miles from the A43 leading to the M40 and about three miles from Junction 15a of the M1. Train stations at Northampton and Milton Keynes offer services to London Euston.

Amenities in the village include primary school, parish church, village hall, playing fields, and a public house. The Grand Union Canal passes close by. Leisure facilities can be found at Sixfields Leisure Centre area in Northampton where there is a multiplex cinema, supermarket and restaurants.

Sporting activities in the area include rugby, hockey, tennis, netball and cricket at the nearby Towcestrians Sports Club, golf at Silverstone and Whittlebury Hall, sailing at Draycote Water, Pitsford and Hollowell Reservoirs, and of course the world famous motor racing at Silverstone.
