Location - Gilmorton is a very sought-after Leicestershire village boasting a number of local amenities including a well reputed primary school and a post office/village shop. The village is ideally situated for easy access to the motorway network at Junction 20 or 21 of the M1, making it very attractive to the commuter. Train services are also available from Rugby, which offers a regular high speed service to London Euston in just under 50 minutes, and from Market Harborough to London St. Pancras. The village has a very active community scene with three popular public houses, a local sports pavilion, park, tennis courts and recently installed outside gym.
Ground Floor - Entering the home, you are welcomed by a spacious and airy entrance hall, creating a strong first impression.
