LOCATION
Barrowden is a picturesque conservation village on the southern boundaries of Rutland having a village green, duck pond, church and public house. The village is approximately half a mile south of the A47 which gives easy access to the market towns of Uppingham, Oakham and Stamford and to Leicester in the West and Peterborough in the East. Other centres easily accessible are Kettering and Corby with good Inter City train services to London (King’s Cross) and the North.

The site forms part of the property of Pridmore Haulage, a family business which has traded from these premises for many years prior to relocating to South Luffenham. The sale offers an excellent opportunity to purchase a residential development site located in the centre of this popular and sought after Rutland village, with potential for the construction of four new dwellings to compliment the cottage.
