New homes in Quorn

Offering a superb location within the East Midlands, Quorn is a pleasant village in Leicestershire. Set into pretty countryside on the outskirts of Loughborough, new homes in Quorn are only nine miles north of Leicester. Nottingham, meanwhile, is a little less than double that in the opposite direction. 

With the River Soar snaking its way close to the heart of the village and Barrow upon Soar just the other side of the A6, this is a desirable place to live. New homes in this area aren’t usually available for long, so you’ll have to be quick with our developments closest to Quorn below.

Things to see and do in Quorn

The heart of the village is a pleasant place to spend some time, full of greenery and welcoming local shops, pubs and restaurants. A selection of bowling clubs lies along Loughborough Road, while there are a number of fields, parks and playgrounds within the village’s boundary. 

Moving away from the centre reveals wider open spaces such as Breedon Hill, Swithland Reservoir and Bradgate Park, where you can enjoy quiet walks around Cropston Reservoir. From Beacon Hill Country Park to Wanlip Meadows and King Lear’s Lake, Watermead Country Park is a must-visit if you love spending time exploring the great outdoors. 

Education

St Bartholomew’s CofE is the local primary school in Quorn. It’s just off Warwick Avenue close to the village centre and is rated as good by Ofsted. Woodhouse Eaves St Paul’s CofE and Swithland St Leonard’s CofE are just south of Quorn but accept pupils from the village, and both are classed as outstanding by the education board. Loughborough Road’s Rawlins Academy is good, according to Ofsted, and the most popular choice for children in the village when they move on to secondary school.
