Situated on a quiet back lane in the heart of Preston Capes, Bentree House enjoys an elevated and private position backing onto open pastureland.
Preston Capes is a picturesque rural village located approximately six miles south of Daventry. Recorded in the Domesday Book as Preston Magna, the village remained part of the Fawsley Estate until 1932.
Surrounded by rolling South Northamptonshire countryside and areas of natural beauty such as nearby Badby Woods, the village combines rural charm with convenient access to nearby towns and transport links. Mainline rail services to London and Birmingham are available from Long Buckby, Northampton, and Banbury, making the village well placed for commuters. The nearby market town of Daventry offers a broad range of amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, healthcare services, restaurants, and leisure facilities.
Well-regarded primary schools can be found in nearby villages such as Badby, Newnham, and Blakesley, while secondary education is available in Daventry, Bugbrooke, and Towcester. For independent schooling, Bilton Grange Preparatory School and Rugby School are within reasonable driving distance.
The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of walking and cycling routes, with popular nearby beauty spots including Badby Woods and Everdon Stubbs—both famed for their springtime bluebell displays. For leisure and wellness, Fawsley Hall Hotel and Spa and Hellidon Lakes Golf and Spa Hotel are just a short drive away.
