The Area - Burton Overy is a small South East Leicestershire conservation village in the Harborough district of the county. With a feeling of being remote, this thriving semi-rural community surrounded by farmland is only just over 1 mile from the main A6 Leicester to Market Harborough Road and being only approx. 9 miles from each.
The age, style and size of the properties in the village vary widely with some cottages showing 16th and 17th century characteristics whilst some of the larger homes have clearly been built more recently but have remained very much in keeping with the feel of the village.
The area is well served by a number of good schools in both the private and state sectors.
Within the village there is recently refurbished Village Hall and function rooms, the medieval Church of St Andrews and the highly regarded public house and restaurant, The Bell Inn.
Other day to day amenities can be found in the larger neighbouring village of Great Glen with Market Harborough being approx. 20 minutes by car.
Burton Overy has become one of the area’s most desirable and sought after villages over the years and is very popular today with local buyers, as well as those from further afield due in part to its charming mix of properties, its ease of access to major roads and motorways and recent improvements to the Market Harborough railway station with half hourly trains to London in under an hour.
