Estate Agent in Blisworth | Property for Sale & to Let Near Towcester

Set on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, Blisworth is a village of real character and history. The north portal of the famous Blisworth Tunnel — at over 3,000 yards, one of the longest navigable canal tunnels in England — is a defining local landmark. Traditional stone and thatched cottages line the Towcester and Stoke Roads, and the village has a warm, established community feel. It lies approximately 5 miles south of Northampton and about 2 miles from junction 15 of the M1.

The Property Market

Blisworth is popular with buyers who want a genuine village character close to excellent motorway access. Properties include traditional stone cottages, Victorian semis and a range of post-war and modern family homes. The M1 (junction 15) just 2 miles away makes it especially attractive to commuters, and prices reflect this desirability.

Amenities & Local Services

The village has a small supermarket/post office, a doctor's surgery serving several surrounding villages, and The Royal Oak pub. Northampton's full retail and leisure offering is just 5 miles north, and Towcester is 4 miles south.

Transport Links

Exceptional road links. Junction 15 of the M1 is 2 miles away, giving fast access to London, Birmingham, and the national motorway network. The West Coast Main Line runs alongside the village — Northampton station (for London Euston services) is nearby.

Schools

Blisworth Community Primary School is well regarded with approximately 200 pupils. Secondary pupils attend Elizabeth Woodville School in Roade or Sponne School in Towcester.

Lifestyle & Local Character

The canal is the heart of village life here. Walks along the towpath to Stoke Bruerne are a local favourite, and watching the narrowboats navigate the locks is a genuine pleasure. The village has a strong community spirit with active village organisations.

Agent's Verdict: Ideal for commuters needing fast motorway access, combined with an authentic canal village setting. A well-connected, characterful choice.
