An imposing, Grade II Listed detached family home holding a prominent position in the centre of this attractive, east Leicestershire village. Red Roofs is believed to date back in parts to 1650, having originally been three cottages, with its name originating from a corrugated iron roof installed on the property to protect the thatch from incendiary devices during World War II.

Location - Houghton on the Hill is located approximately seven miles east of Leicester, providing convenient access to the city centre, with popular amenities not usually associated with a village of this size including a post office, general store, hair salon, pharmacy and two public houses along with a variety of sporting and social activities, and a primary school filtering into the Gartree and Beauchamp Colleges at nearby Oadby. The village is flanked by some of Leicestershire's most attractive rolling countryside.
