About the Development
Market Harborough was named by the Sunday Times as one of the ten best places to live in the Midlands in 2018. They called it a ‘Goldilocks town’, where everything was just right. It is close enough to London, but not too close. Large enough to have everything you need, without becoming a bland chain-store city. Add in great schools and excellent road and rail connections and it’s easy to see why the town is so admired.Amenities
There is a Londis convenience store close to the development for your day to day needs, with a choice of supermarkets in the town centre, including Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.Dining
One of the things the Sunday Times most admired about Market Harborough was the choice of excellent restaurants, with Trip Advisor listing no less than 86 places to eat. The list is topped by Dim Sum Master, Ascough’s Bistro, the Coach and Horses at Lubenham and Milo’s Café, with Shagorika, The Royal George and Veneto also highly recommended.Education
Moving your family to Saxon Meadows means saying goodbye to the school run, with both primary and secondary schools within a mile of your home. Farndon Fields Primary, just three quarters of a mile away, is rated ‘good’ by Ofsted, while Welland Park Academy offers mixed education for 11 to 18 year olds just a mile from home, with regular buses for your less enthusiastic teens. Rated ‘outstanding’ across the board, you couldn’t ask for a better start in life.Leisure
The town has a host of sports clubs covering all the major sports, as well as a local golf course conveniently close to the development to the south east of town at Market Harborough Golf Club. The local leisure centre is also on your side of town, just a mile and a half away on Northampton Road.Shopping
As the Sunday Times pointed out, Market Harborough is big enough for all your shopping, without becoming a faceless arcade. The town centre is home to countless independent shops and chic boutiques that genuinely offer something different to the normal city mall. As the name suggests, the market is a major feature of the town’s retail offering, and has been for over 800 years. There are over sixty stalls available every day except Monday, both in the market hall and out in the square, with a regular farmers’ market on the first Thursday of the month and a food fair on the third Thursday.Transport
Market Harborough grew up at the crossroads of road and rail links, and still enjoys excellent connections to this day. The north/south A6 and east/west A14 trunk roads pass close by the town and the main M1 / M6 interchange at Catthorpe is just 11miles away, opening up the whole of the UK. Kettering and Corby are around 10miles, Leicester 15miles and Northampton 18miles.
