Ashberry Homes - Horwood Gardens

Leisure

The combination of vast outdoor spaces and close proximity to built-up areas of Central Leicester makes Oadby an ideal leisure destination. Outdoor pursuits include a visit to one of the best driving ranges in the UK at Leicester Golf Centre, a stroll to see Shady Lane Arboretum's trees, wildlife, and grassland, or exploring the University of Leicester Botanic Garden, complete with stunning sculptures, rare plants, and spectacular water features. In Central Leicester, a range of activities is also available, including bowling, visits to multi-screen cinemas and theatres, Premier League football at the King Power stadium, and encounters with wonders beyond our galaxy at the National Space Centre.

Transport

Oadby's close proximity to Leicester means that it benefits from excellent transport links. The A6 dual carriageway passes through the town from north to south. This road connects Luton to Carlisle, and this means that key locations are easily accessible for residents of Horwood Gardens. For rail travel, the closest stations are equidistant from the development; Leicester and South Wigstan are both 3 miles away.

Education

Education centres in Oadby ensure a high level of achievement, and the area is home to primary and secondary schools alongside fantastic local college. For primary education, Brocks Hill Primary School and Glenmere Community Primary School are well regarded by students, parents, and governing bodies. Two of the top-performing schools in Oadby, Beauchamp College and Gartree High School, have further claims to fame. John Deacon, best known as the bassist for rock legends Queen, attended both schools as a young man. For children with additional needs, Millgate School is on hand to provide exceptional services. The development also has close proximity to the University of Leicester, with the main campus just 3 miles from Horwood Gardens.
