Homes in Lutterworth
Lutterworth is a small market town best known as the home of John Wycliffe and Frank Whittle's jet engine. Its centre has older buildings, including some timber-framed, around the High Street and church, with Victorian and Edwardian homes nearby. The church of St Mary, where Wycliffe was rector, dominates the town centre, and the High Street is a conservation area.
Post-war estates and significant new-build developments have expanded the town, driven partly by the Magna Park distribution centre. The River Swift runs through the town, and clay soils are common. Lutterworth is close to the M1 and A5, making it popular with commuters. Recent developments have pushed the town towards the M1, and a large urban extension is planned to the east. Expect a mix of Victorian terraces, 1960s and 1970s semis and modern estates. The surrounding villages have older brick and some thatched cottages, many in conservation areas.
Areas we cover include Bitteswell, Magna Park, Ullesthorpe, Gilmorton.
