Location - Situated in Leicestershire, close to the borders of Rutland and Northamptonshire, Medbourne is surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, whilst being conveniently placed to allow access to major roads and the national rail network.

Medbourne lies close to some of the region's finest towns, cities and beautiful countryside destinations such as Rutland Water. The village is equidistant between the towns of Uppingham in Rutland and Market Harborough in Leicestershire. Both of these thriving historic market towns are home to a wide choice of independent shops, supermarkets, post offices, restaurants, pubs and galleries. A little further afield there are larger shopping centres at Leicester, Corby and Peterborough. The area is also well served by state and independent schools and colleges.

Today's village residents benefit from many of the essentials needed for everyday living, including a general store/Post Office and the recently renovated Nevill Arms, a highly rated coaching inn, restaurant and hotel. Just a short walk from Homefield Green lies Medbourne Sports and Social Club offering an array of sports including football, cricket, tennis, lawn bowls and skittles. Situated next to the Club, a children's play area and nature conservation area, known as The Hollow, is a popular spot for families to enjoy.

A Green Approach - Homefield Green is a development with the environment at its heart. From the outset we adopted a green approach to our design process to build homes which benefit from a reduced carbon footprint. To achieve this, we have incorporated air source heat pumps, electric car charging points, high quality insulation and triple glazed windows, which also help new homeowners to use less energy and save on their future fuel bills.

Our landscape designers have also incorporated many eco features into the development to encourage wildlife. These include bat, swift and sparrow boxes, the planting of native trees and shrubs and a feature pond which will encourage various forms of wildlife. As part of the master plan our design team have also created a circular walk which weaves its way through, and round the development and neighbouring field.
