As well as charming villages, the well-connected and vibrant town of Corby is just a few miles down the road.
Little Stanion is ideally located for those looking at houses for sale in Corby itself, or even slightly further afield at houses for sale in Northampton.
The town of Corby offers a range of local leisure facilities, restaurants, and shops with direct train services to London. The town is also just a short drive from the cities of Northampton, Leicester, Peterborough and Cambridge.
There is a Tesco Extra store and Lidl within a few minutes’ drive of Little Stanion, with an Asda superstore in Corby. There are also several smaller local stores including a butcher, a local bakery, and a pharmacy.
Willow Place & Corby Town Shopping provides a great range of high-street stores and eateries including Argos, Boots and Primark with multi-storey long stay parking on site. Corby’s Indoor Market is open seven days a week with a variety of stalls, while the Outdoor Market operates every Friday and Saturday selling fresh produce, clothes, accessories and household goods.
There are also a great variety of restaurants, cafes and pubs in and around Corby, from high-street chains such as Costa Coffee to independent eateries like La Fonte Bistro and A Tasca, which specialises in delicious Portuguese food. The Hatton Arms is worth the short drive to Gretton. Thought to be one of the oldest pubs in Northamptonshire, it serves tasty home-cooked food six days a week.
The Corby Cube houses the town’s public library, as well as a 450-seat theatre and 100-seat studio theatre, which show a range of live productions including dance, music and stand-up comedy. Corby also has a boating lake and an international swimming pool.
Kirby Hall, described by English Heritage as one of England’s greatest Elizabethan houses, is just a 10 minute drive away, and East Carlton Countryside Park is perfect for dog walkers, picnickers and nature lovers.
