It offers a welcoming community with a church, a well-regarded public house with restaurant, and an active village hall.
The nearby village of Great Glen provides a wider range of daily amenities and has become a significant draw for families, particularly following the relocation of Leicester Grammar School and Stoneygate School to the village.
