The Old School sits in the heart of the village, close to the War Memorial, the ancient village stocks, and the beautiful church of St Leonard.

Apethorpe evolved around the superb Grade I listed Hall, one of the finest of its type in the country, dating from 15th Century and known to have been host to Tudor and Stuart Royalty, notably Elizabeth I and James I. The village sits above the banks of Willowbrook as it meanders its way to join the River Nene at nearby Fotheringhay. The pub, The King's Head has a good reputation for its food and atmosphere. There are footpaths and bridleways leading from the village to the surrounding gently rolling countryside. The neighbouring village of King's Cliffe (1 mile) provides local amenities including a general store, bakery, post office and primary school. The historic town of Oundle lies about 6 miles to the South and provides a good range of family run businesses, shops and restaurants set around the traditional Market Place. There is an excellent choice of schooling, both state and private, in the region. Leisure and sports clubs can be found in the Oundle and Stamford areas with many golf clubs and fishing facilities too.

The Property: This former Victorian village school has been carefully converted, creating a wonderfully light and spacious family home set in the heart of this truly unspoilt Northamptonshire village.
