Brooks House;

Formerly a Victorian residence named Oadby Hill and set in extensive parkland grounds extending to the existing Leicester Racecourse and occupying of the most substantial landholdings in the area. Constructed in the mid 19th Century for W E Hutchinson, a former Director of Midland Railway. The Hutchinson familys legacy is embedded in Oadbys infrastructure including transport, park, library and swimming pool, provided through philanthropy.

The substantial family home displayed the finest Victorian architecture with large bay windows, pillared entrance and stone parapets. The original estate included stabling, outbuildings and lodge retained within parkland tree boundaries. The estate has long since reduced its landholding with areas provided for local housing extending down the current A6 Harborough Road. In the 1930s land was sold to the east for the modern properties known as Oadby Court continuing the provision of unique and sought after housing to the local community.
