History and Location



Cransley is a picturesque and charming village located in the rolling countryside filled heart of central North Northamptonshire which sits about 4 miles west and 15 Miles north of major towns Kettering and Northampton respectively.

It is also well connected with a range of schools both public and independent within 5-10 miles with plenty of 'Good and Outstanding Ofsted ratings'



The name Cransley is taken from the old English for a meadow in a clearing with cranes. The Village was once in the great Rockingham forest which was said to stretch from the Town Bridge at Northampton to the Town Bridge at Stamford.





Potential



*Subject to planning* The complex provides a range of potential yielding opportunities.

The agricultural barn has current planning for conversion into stables, but boasts a plot potentially worthy of residential and commercial conversion.

The two annex's have been historically rented out and in current market conditions could fetch up to £1750PCM for the 2 bedroom bungalow and £2000PCM for the 3 bedroom home.

Given its secluded and rural location it could also be of benefit to a range of industries including agricultural, educational, healthcare, hospitality and leisure.
