Make the right move to Kings Gate
Ideally situated in North Leicestershire, within the National Forest, Shepshed is a charming and vibrant town located between Loughborough and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Kings Gate is surrounded by stunning countryside and green open spaces, yet it's close to a wealth of amenities - perfect for first-time buyers and families.
Shepshed is tucked to the side of the M1 so you'll have a really convenient motorway route nearby for travel into Leicester and on down towards London. To the north, it'll get you quickly to Nottingham and Derby. The A42 is on hand too, for the connection with the M6 just outside Sutton Coldfield. Leicestershire may be home to some busy towns but it's also a lovely green and rural county with landmarks such as Rutland Water, a beautiful nature reserve to the east of Leicester.

Shepshed once laid claim to being the largest village in the UK, but is now a charming market town. Nestled in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside, the original village was a centre for the wool trade. Nowadays, Shepshed now offers a range of diverse businesses and enterprises and is a popular town for those commuting to nearby Loughborough and the university cities of Nottingham and Leicester.
Living at Kings Gate means you'll be close to everything you need for day-to-day living including a number of local supermarkets, two Post Offices, doctor's surgeries and a good choice of restaurants and pubs. For even more choice, Loughborough is just 5 miles away with its excellent shopping, entertainment and leisure facilities.
Kings Gate is conveniently close to range of well-respected schools for all ages, including Oxley, St Botolph's, Newcroft, and St Winefride's primary schools. Older children are catered for at Shepshed High School and the popular Hind Leys Community College. And for higher education, Loughborough University and Nottingham University are both easily accessible from Kings Gate.
Shepshed is in a great location when it comes to days out for all the family. Within easy reach are the attractions of Donnington Grand Prix track, the National Space Centre, Twycross Zoo and Beacon Hill Country Park, which is set in 335 acres of glorious woodland, grassland and wildflower meadows.
