Main Street Shangton, Leicester Guide Price £695,000

The Barn sits in the heart of this quiet but welcoming village within the rolling south east Leicestershire countryside. Recorded in the Domesday Book, Shangton is unusual in that it has retained its small population and charm from years gone by, with regular community activities and pretty 13th century church, St Nicholas. There are wonderful country walks available from the doorstep, with two streams in the village itself and an abundance of country pubs located close by, offering excellent menus. Just four miles away is Kibworth, offering a myriad of facilities including boutique shops and cafes, together with more general day to day facilities such as a doctor’s surgery, dentists, a supermarket and sports clubs including tennis, golf, bowls and cricket. For more extensive facilities, Shangton is only seven miles to the north of the medieval town of Market Harborough and is just eleven miles from Leicester City center.

There is a wide selection of state and independent schooling in the area including the well-regarded local Church Langton CE (Aided) Primary School. Preparatory schools are at Spratton, Maidwell, and Stoneygate (Great Glen). Additional secondary schooling is available locally at Market Harborough, whilst notable private secondary schooling options are available at Leicester Grammar School (Great Glen), Uppingham School, Oakham School, and Leicester High School.

Market Harborough train station offers access to London St Pancras from 55 minutes, making the area an excellent location for those wishing to travel regularly to London for leisure or work purposes. Leicester and Peterborough are easily accessible via the A47, and the M1 and the M6 providing access to London and Birmingham.
