A regional vote across 28 counties took place and the top ten places to live in Northamptonshire were revealed.
Below are the top ten places to live in Northamptonshire in 2023, according to Muddy Stilettos, including what the what’s on guide has written about each place.

9. 3: Daventry
Muddy Stilettos said: "This dynamic and well-connected market town has a wealth of new housing but has kept hold of its charming character. It’s also having a bit of a renaissance, with cute shops springing up in the 16th century town centre, jostling for place with edgy bars and cosy cafés." Photo: Muddy Stilettos

10. 2: Oundle
Muddy Stilettos said: "Brimming with old world charm and character, Oundle is assuredly the posh bit of Northamptonshire, set as it is in a perfectly picturesque rural bubble. Thankfully, the culture and foodie scene is bang up to date and, whilst you could live here and forget London even exists, you can also get there in a jiffy." Photo: Muddy Stilettos

11. 1: Long Buckby
Muddy Stilettos said: "Great bang for your “buck” in a well connected and bustling village. Long Buckby is teasingly close to the A5 and M1 Motorway but keeps that close-knit rural community feel with loads going on including a thriving foodie scene. The Grand Union Canal laps around the edge of the village lending what might otherwise be a rather sedate spot quite an upbeat vibe with the passing footfall it brings." Photo: Google
