Little Houghton is a small village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, in the heart of Northamptonshire, a few miles east of Northampton. Set amid gently rolling farmland and hedgerows and adjoining Great Houghton, it retains a compact village feel with historic stone and brick houses clustered along lanes that reflect a medieval layout.
The community blends agricultural roots with a largely commuter population working in nearby towns and cities; local life is sustained by a parish council, a village hall and occasional community events. Interest for visitors and residents comes from its traditional rural character, several historic buildings and the way modern conversions and sensitive development sit alongside long‑standing village features.
