Our Favourite Homes For Sale In August
We’ve picked out 5 homes currently for sale that are definitely worth a look 👀
There’s character, village life, modern family space, a Grade II listed home and a beautifully reworked bungalow.
A lovely mix — and each one stood out for a different reason.
There are always a few homes each month that make us stop scrolling.
Sometimes it is because of the setting. Sometimes it is the way the space has been used. Sometimes it is because the home has a bit of history, a brilliant garden, or a layout that could work for all sorts of buyers.
This month’s favourites are a really good mix. We have village homes with character, modern family houses with plenty of space, a Grade II listed home with real flexibility, and a beautifully reworked bungalow that feels ready to enjoy straight away.
Here are five properties that stood out to us this month.
Chestnut House, High Street, Yelvertoft
Chestnut House is a spacious three/four-bedroom detached village home that has been significantly extended and remodelled over the years.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and family room is the heart of the home, with a large island, bi-folding doors and a lovely connection out to the garden.
There is also a separate sitting room, flexible study or fourth bedroom, ensuite facilities and a generous established garden with space to entertain.
A really individual home in a proper village setting.
Manor Farm House, Drayton
Manor Farm House is packed with character, history and flexibility.
This five-bedroom Grade II listed home sits in the heart of Drayton and offers a layout that could work particularly well for multi-generational living.
Inside, there is plenty of charm, including an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner, while outside there is generous parking and a sunny, private rear garden.
A very interesting opportunity for anyone wanting a home with character and options.
51 Buttercup Drive, Daventry
This is a seriously spacious modern family home.
Built by Avant Homes in 2020, 51 Buttercup Drive offers five bedrooms, generous living space and a lovely position overlooking open green space to the front.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is a real highlight, with a central island, bi-folding doors and direct access onto the south-facing garden.
With two ensuite bedrooms, a double garage, no upper chain and an EPC rating of B, this is a practical and impressive family home.
2 Wolsey Close, Crick
This four-bedroom detached home in Crick is a great example of a layout that just works.
Set on a corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac, it offers a large lounge, separate dining room, study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and downstairs WC.
Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms, including a main bedroom with ensuite.
The south-facing rear garden, pergola seating area and detached double garage make it a really well-rounded village home.
7 Kingston Close, Long Buckby
This is no ordinary bungalow.
This bungalow has been beautifully reworked to create a stylish three-bedroom detached home arranged across one level.
The modern kitchen diner, with central island, is a real standout space, while the main bedroom suite includes a dressing area and beautifully finished ensuite.
With a private west-facing garden, long driveway and garage, this is single-storey living done properly.
Final Thoughts
What links these homes together is not that they are all the same type of property, because they really are not.
One is all about character and history. One offers modern family space in a great position. One has village life written all over it. One gives buyers a very flexible layout. And one shows just how impressive single-storey living can be when it has been done properly.
That is what makes this job interesting. Every home has something different to offer, and the right buyer will often connect with a property for reasons that are very personal to them.
If one of these homes feels like it could be right for you, we would be very happy to show you around.
And if you are thinking about selling, this is exactly why good property marketing matters. It is not just about listing the rooms. It is about understanding what makes a home stand out and making sure the right people see it.
