The Situation

Set on the edge of the sought-after Northamptonshire village of Ashley, considered to be one of the most attractive Welland Valley villages in highly accessible and yet un-spoilt countryside. The village contains a public house, farm shop, active village hall, children's play park, and an 11th Century parish church part designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, famous for the design of St Pancras station. The Ashley Recreation Ground offers tennis courts, petanque, cricket nets and walks with magnificent hilltop views of the Welland Valley. The neighbouring village of Medbourne has a post office/village shop, café and a well thought of public house. The nearby market town of Market Harborough is some six miles distant and provides a good array of everyday shopping facilities including a market, together with a fast direct rail link to London St Pancras.
Communications in the area are excellent, with good links to Leicester, Peterborough and Kettering, with the A14 dual carriageway providing rapid road access both east (A1), north/south (M1) and northwest (M6). International air travel is available at East Midlands Airport, Birmingham, Stansted and Luton.

Sporting and recreational facilities locally are plentiful, with Rutland Water set to the north, between Uppingham and Oakham (approximately 12 miles), where water sports are available, including sailing and fishing with scenic walks, as well as the Rutland Water cycle route. Fishing is also available on Eyebrook Reservoir close to Uppingham, with golf at Oundle, Wellingborough and Kettering. Educational establishments nearby are renowned, with public, preparatory and primary options at Wilbarston, Bringhurst, Oakham and Stamford, whilst secondary schooling is at Market Harborough, Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford, Oundle and Leicester.
