The Area - .
The Oval is an exclusive and highly desirable, tree lined cul-de-sac consisting of larger style family dwellings located on the borders of Oadby and Wigston and lying midway between the two thriving town centres.
Forming part of the borough of Oadby & Wigston in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, Oadby is a small town located approximately 3 miles South East of Leicester city centre. It is thought that there has been a settlement on the site now occupied by the town since the 4th century AD.
Although the name and status of the settlement changed over the centuries following invasions by The Danes and later The Normans in the 11th century, it remained a small village until the end of the 19th century when it became a fashionable location for wealthy industrialists with factories in Leicester as the hosiery and footwear industries grew in the city.
Many of the very substantial homes that were developed during the Victorian and Edwardian eras still stand today as private residential dwellings whilst some are used by Leicester University.
The town has continued to grow in recent years with a vibrant shopping area providing amenities such as banks, pubs and restaurants and shops with outlets such as M&S, and Sainsbury's in and around the town centre.
Leisure facilities include Glen Gorse Golf Course, Brocks Hill Countryside Park, Leicester Racecourse and Parklands Leisure Centre and there are a number of schools in both the private and state sectors for both primary and secondary children nearby.
Standing at both sides of the A6, one of Leicester's main arterial roads, Oadby remains popular today with business people and professionals both local and those moving into the area, due in part to its proximity of the city centre, hospitals and universities; and ease of access to the motorway network via the nearby A563 outer ring road and Leicester and Market Harborough railway stations which are approx. 1 hour from London St Pancras, home of the Eurostar.
