Broughton is a charming village nestled in the heart of Northamptonshire, just a stone's throw away from Kettering. Its name translates to "Brook Town," as the village once flourished beside the Ise Brook. Broughton's history dates back to Roman times, with evidence of Roman villas having been found in the area. During the Middle Ages, Broughton was a centre for the wool trade and boasted its own market square. Today, Broughton remains an idyllic place to live with excellent transport links, including easy access to both the A14 and M1 motorways. Residents enjoy a thriving community life with numerous local events and activities throughout the year, such as traditional fetes and popular farmers' markets. The village boasts plenty of amenities, including a local shop, a historic church, a public house (the excellent Toller Arms), and excellent leisure facilities like tennis courts and football pitches.
