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 aprox 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 village is very popular today with both local buyers and those from further afield due in part to
the proximity of; high quality schooling in both the private and state sectors, neighbouring towns
with shopping, banking and leisure facilities and the Market Harborough railway station which allows
travel to London St.Pancras in under 1 hour
