The Area - Great Glen is a highly desirable and much sought after village with many historical links in the Harborough district of the county, midway between Leicester and Market Harborough.
A settlement has existed on the site since before 1066 but grew significantly in size in the mid-18th century as the Leicester to London Stage Coach route passed through and Great Glen became an important stop with The Old Crown and The Greyhound being built as coaching inns. The old road developed into the A6 and ran through the centre of the village until 2003 when the by-pass was built.
The village has grown in recent years with the addition of several new housing developments whilst still retaining the feel of a village community.

-------------------------------------------

The village centre has a good selection of amenities including cafes, hairdressers, a post office and co-op store; a doctors surgery, library and village hall and 3 popular public houses. Schooling in both state and private sectors are well represented in the area including The Leicester Grammar and The Stoneygate School. There ae also a number of leisure facilities nearby whilst day to day amenities including shops and supermarkets, pubs restaurants and banking facilities can be found 2 miles away in the neighbouring town of Oadby.

---------------------------------------------

Great Glen remains very popular with local buyers and with commuters due in part to its proximity to Leicester city centre and improvements at Market Harborough railway station now allows travel to St. Pancras in less than 1 hr
