Ashby Fields
Ashby Fields sits within Daventry, a town that offers affordable housing, falling crime rates and good schools across the board. House prices are genuinely budget-friendly compared with much of the surrounding area, with flats starting from around £123,800 to £128,000 and detached homes averaging £375,500. Schools throughout the area carry consistent Good Ofsted ratings, with the Outstanding Welton Church of England Academy also within easy reach, making this a sound choice for families.
Day-to-day life here is well supported, with GP surgeries, hospitals, shops, cafés and pubs all close by, though bigger supermarkets tend to sit just outside the immediate area. This is firmly car-dependent territory: public transport is limited, but the A45, A361 and M1 put Northampton and Rugby within easy commuting distance. That road access, combined with low crime and good air quality, explains why rents have been climbing steadily as demand grows from both professionals and families after more space for their money.
The wider Daventry area shows some gentle variation. The town's northern and southern neighbourhoods lean towards quiet, green residential streets with some of the lowest prices around, while villages like Braunston and Crick, a little further out, bring a canal-side setting and a higher proportion of home workers, alongside mid-to-upper tier pricing. Wherever you land within Ashby Fields and its surrounds, you'll find a peaceful, well-connected base that suits drivers and families looking for affordability without compromising on schools or safety.
