Loughborough Worktop Information

Loughborough is a market town in north Leicestershire, on the River Soar, about 11 miles north of Leicester and 15 miles south-west of Nottingham. LE11 covers the main town, including the university area to the south. LE12 covers the surrounding rural parishes including Shepshed to the west, Sileby, Mountsorrel, and the villages of Charnwood Forest and the Soar valley to the south. Loughborough University, ranked consistently in the global top 250 for sport and engineering, has a significant effect on the local economy and housing market. The town also has the John Taylor Bell Foundry, the largest working bell foundry in the world, which has been casting bells on Freehold Street since 1784, including the Olympic Bell for the 2012 London Games. The Great Central Railway, a heritage steam railway operating through the Soar valley from Loughborough to Leicester North, runs from Loughborough Central station in the town. The housing stock spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older town streets, interwar and post-war semis and detached houses in the residential outer areas, and some newer development.

Types of Materials found in Loughborough

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the older town streets and the post-war and interwar semis across LE11 form the mainstream quartz market. These are practical Leicestershire family homes where quartz suits the standard kitchen proportions and handles daily use without maintenance. Installed prices run from around £290 to £452 per square metre. Leicester businesses cover LE11 from the south via the A6 in around 20 minutes. The larger detached properties in the outer LE11 residential areas and the premium rural properties in the Charnwood Forest villages of the outer LE12 postcode are where granite finds its market. The LE12 villages of the Soar valley and Charnwood Forest, including Barrow upon Soar, Woodhouse Eaves, and Quorn, have a character and property market above the standard LE11 town range. Installed granite costs between £272 and £433 per square metre. The outer LE12 villages within the Charnwood Forest area, including Woodhouse Eaves and Newtown Linford, have a premium rural Leicestershire market. These villages attract professional buyers from Leicester and Nottingham who want a rural village setting with good motorway access, and renovation budgets in these properties consistently support granite or natural stone over standard laminate.
