Our Favourite Homes For Sale In September

Our Favourite Homes For Sale In September

Five very different homes caught our eye this month — from a 1920s family home and countryside views, to Victorian character and waterside living at Braunston Marina. Here’s a quick look at the September properties we kept coming back to.

Choosing a favourite home is never just about the floorplan.

It might be the morning light across a garden, a view you would never get bored of, a kitchen that naturally becomes the centre of family life, or a location that makes everyday living feel that little bit easier.

This month, our selection is less about comparing one property with another and more about celebrating what makes each of them memorable in its own way.

From a much-loved family home in Clifton Upon Dunsmore to a waterside home at Braunston Marina, these are five properties that each offer a very different version of “home”.




Ashcroft, Clifton Upon Dunsmore

Ashcroft is a substantial five-bedroom detached home that has been loved by the same family for nearly 30 years.

Built around 1928 and designed with Arts and Crafts influence, it combines charming original rooms with a large, modern open-plan kitchen, dining and living space at the rear.

The plot is a real highlight too, extending to approximately 0.44 acres with private gardens, mature planting, fruit trees and plenty of parking, along with a double garage.

A warm, impressive family home in one of the area’s most popular villages.


Grey Roofs, Church Stowe

Grey Roofs is one of those homes where the setting is a huge part of the appeal.

This four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow enjoys far-reaching countryside views from its elevated position in Church Stowe, with the roof terrace being the standout feature.

Inside, the layout is flexible, with bedrooms and bathrooms arranged across both floors, two reception rooms and a generous kitchen breakfast room.

Outside, the mature plot extends to around 0.23 acres, with parking for several vehicles, a detached garage and an electric vehicle charger.

A really interesting home for anyone wanting space, views and a quieter village setting.



Morrison Park Road, West Haddon

This substantial five-bedroom detached home sits on an impressive corner plot within the popular village of West Haddon.

The heart of the home is the bespoke open-plan kitchen and dining room, while the full-length dual-aspect lounge gives the house another generous living space.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has a dressing area and ensuite, with further bedroom space supported by a family bathroom and Jack and Jill shower room.

The private south-facing garden, ample parking and double garage with part-converted studio or home office make this a very well-rounded family home.




Church Street, Woodford Halse

This late 1800s Victorian home offers more space and flexibility than you might first expect.

There are three bedrooms, two main reception rooms, a snug, separate kitchen, utility room, downstairs WC and a family bathroom.

Character details such as timber internal features sit alongside lighter decoration and practical flooring, giving the home a comfortable and usable feel.

With a rear garden, decking area and local amenities within walking distance, this could work well for first-time buyers, young families, downsizers or investors.




Brindley Quays, Braunston Marina

This three-bedroom, three-storey home is all about the setting.

Overlooking Braunston Marina, it enjoys views across the water, the village and the surrounding countryside, with the first-floor open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space making the most of that outlook.

The layout is practical too, with an integral garage, ground-floor utility room, flexible third bedroom or office, three shower rooms and two further bedrooms upstairs.

For someone wanting waterside living, village amenities nearby and a home that could also work as a lock-up-and-leave, this one really stands out.


Final Thoughts

There is no theme to this month’s selection, and that is probably why we liked putting it together.

A 1920s family home on a generous plot.
A dormer bungalow with a roof terrace and countryside views.
A substantial West Haddon home designed around modern family life.
A Victorian house with more space than you might expect.
And a marina home where the view changes every time a boat passes.

Five very different properties. Five very different reasons to take a closer look.

So rather than trying to sum them all up neatly, we will leave it at this:
Have a scroll through, see which one you keep going back to, and if you would like to step inside properly, just let us know.

A property that goes to market well prepared almost always performs better than one rushed online before it is ready. Here is what typically happens before your listing goes live.

If you are weighing up whether to sell, one of the most natural questions is simply: what is my home actually worth right now. It helps to understand how that figure is genuinely determined before trying to answer it for yourself.

A valuation isn't just the agent telling you a number. It's your best chance to find out whether they actually understand your property, your area, and what it will take to sell it well. Here are five questions worth asking while they're stood in your kitchen.

You have had your appraisal, and you are thinking about selling to make life a little simpler, less space to maintain, a more manageable garden, or somewhere that suits this next stage better than your current home. Downsizing has a few things worth understanding before you go much further.
