Kingsthorpe is situated on the northern fringe of Northampton, 2 miles from the town centre. The original village retains a semi-rural character, away from the main roads, overlooked by the parish church.
There are plenty of amenities a short walk away including a small supermarket serving Costa Coffee, post office, Chinese takeaway and the Lasaan Indian restaurant (The Chronicle and Echos' restaurant of the year 2019).
The A508 Market Harborough to Milton Keynes road runs directly alongside the village and in turn gives access to the A14 before leading to both the M1 and M6 motorways at Catthorpe interchange.
Northampton is the nearest mainline rail access point for London Euston and Birmingham New Street with trains going directly into London in just under 1 hour.
