House prices here are very reasonable compared to London. You can buy a whole house for the price of a shed in Zone 2. That’s a win if you like having indoor plumbing.
The countryside is stunning just outside town. Fields, quaint villages, and that classic English sky. You know, the one that’s 50% clouds, 50% drama.
Oh, and the Swanspool Garden. It’s a tiny, secret garden tucked behind a hill. It feels like a fairy tale – if the fairy was a bit eccentric and planted geraniums everywhere.
The Weirdest Pub Situation
Wellingborough has a pub called “The Butt House.” I am not joking. It sits on a street originally named “Butt Close.” You’ll never forget where you had that pint.
Another pub, the “Old Original,” claims to be the town’s oldest. It smells like wood, ale, and history. And maybe a bit of wet dog. It adds character.
