Overstone Lodge & Rectory Farm

Overstone Lodge and Rectory Farm sit just east of Northampton within West Northamptonshire, close to Overstone village. The lane that runs between them is lined by hedgerows and leads from the village road to a group of farm buildings and a small gate lodge. Surrounding land is largely arable with occasional pasture, and a network of public footpaths crosses the fields, linking the lane to nearby lanes and to footpaths into Overstone Park. Traffic is limited to local use and farm vehicles.

The farmyard at Rectory Farm retains a cluster of barns and a yard used for storage and seasonal activity, while Overstone Lodge marks the entrance to the lane with a low brick gate building beside the access drive. Operations here are mixed farming and contracting rather than intensive industry, and field boundaries show the patchwork pattern of hedgerows and small copses common in this part of Northamptonshire. The area is mainly residential-rural in character, shaped by farming timetables and quiet country lanes.
