Location
Glooston is a hugely popular small village located southeast of the County. Popularity is derived from the variety and quality of the mainly period housing, some of the County's most attractive countryside, proximity to the nearby market towns at Market Harborough, Uppingham and Oakham. The Church and village hall are at the heart of this sociable and inclusive community, with the village hall opening its doors every Friday evening for locals to enjoy having a drink together. Schooling is well catered for both within the state and private sector. An excellent local primary school is available within the nearby village of Church Langton which filters into the renowned Uppingham Community College. The Leicester Grammar School and Stoneygate School located in Great Glen are very popular with residents together with schools in both Uppingham and Oakham; all are within a 30-minute car journey.
