Appleyard Park

Development Overview

Appleyard Park is a new build homes development by Persimmon Homes, located on Fleckney Road/Tigers Road in the established Leicestershire village of Fleckney (LE8 8EG). The development primarily consists of two, three, four, and five-bedroom detached new build houses, designed to offer modern, energy-efficient family living in a village setting. The site is currently nearing completion, with the developer reporting it as 94% sold.

Persimmon Homes holds 5-star status, awarded by the Home Builder's Federation (HBF) based on the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey, where over 9 out of 10 customers stated they would recommend the company. Potential buyers are advised, as with any major developer, to conduct independent research on estate-specific build quality and customer service, as reviews across various developments have been mixed.

Property Details and Pricing

Available properties range from three-bedroom detached homes priced from approximately £309,995 to five-bedroom detached houses priced up to £489,995. Specific remaining house types include the four-bedroom ‘The Hatfield’ and ‘The Beech’, and the five-bedroom ‘The Regent’ house types.

Typical property specifications feature modern open-plan layouts. For instance, house types offer an open-plan kitchen/diner/family room with double French doors accessing the rear garden, and a bright, dual-aspect living room. Larger properties, such as 'The Regent', often include a separate dining room with a bay window. The development has been designed with families in mind, incorporating considered green spaces and children's play areas.

Location and Transport Links

Fleckney is positioned southeast of Leicester, offering a balance of rural living with urban accessibility. The development benefits from direct road links via the A6 and A5199, connecting residents to nearby Wigston, Market Harborough, and the M1 motorway.

For public transport, the Arriva 49 bus service provides a direct link between Fleckney and Leicester city centre, with a typical journey time of 40-47 minutes. The key train station for commuters is Market Harborough, from which direct rail services to London St Pancras International can be completed in less than one hour.

Local Amenities and Services

Fleckney is a self-contained village with essential local services, including a Post Office, convenience stores, and the Central Co-op Food supermarket located on High Street (LE8 8AJ). The village also features two GP surgeries, a local library, and the Fleckney Sports Centre.

Local schooling is served by the Fleckney Church of England Primary School within the village, with secondary school options available in the surrounding area. For outdoor recreation, Saddington Reservoir is situated less than two miles south of the development, offering walking and cycling routes, and a local sailing club.
