Little Oakley

Little Oakley is a small village in North Northamptonshire, in the countryside between Kettering and Corby. Its conservation-area appraisal describes a settlement arranged along one main street, with limestone cottages and farm buildings separated by fields and stone boundary walls. Thatch, slate and pantiles contribute to the variety of the older buildings.

Manor Farm and the former St Peter's Church mark the western approach. Harper's Brook forms the southern edge of the conservation area, while open land to the north contributes to the village's setting. These details explain why the whole village was included when the conservation area was designated in September 1983.

For a home in Little Oakley, the relationship between the building, its boundary walls and the open spaces around it is part of the appeal. North Northamptonshire Council publishes the appraisal and current conservation guidance. Compare journeys to the larger centres individually, and check the village's actual facilities rather than assuming a range of shops within this small settlement.
