Location - Newton Harcourt has long been regarded as one of the most favoured villages within south Leicestershire. This popularity is not only derived from the quality and variety of the housing stock, but is also due to the attractive surrounding countryside, access to major centres of employment at Leicester and Market Harborough as well as and neighbourhood shopping within the adjacent village of Great Glen.

Schooling - Great Glen is home to some of the finest schooling within the county and contributes towards the driving factor for many families considering a move into the area. St Cuthbert's C of E Primary School offers primary education for children aged 4 - 11 years and feeds into The Kibworth Mead Academy in the nearby village of Kibworth, which provides education from 11 - 16 years.
