Little Houghton is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, England, lying a few miles east of Northampton amid gently rolling Northamptonshire farmland. The settlement sits close to its neighbour Great Houghton and retains a rural feel of cottages, hedged lanes and open fields that offer pleasant views over the surrounding countryside.
Historically agricultural, the village still shows traces of its past in listed buildings and a traditional parish church, while today it functions largely as a residential and commuter community for nearby towns; local life is centred on a village hall, parish activities and a handful of farms rather than shops or industry. That mix of heritage, quiet lanes and convenient links to Northampton makes it a typical modern English village balancing conservation with everyday practicality.
