The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and boat rides along the tranquil Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal. It is also home to the historic St Margaret’s Church, which dates back to the 12th century and is a must-see for history buffs. It’s also known for the Battle of Bosworth Field, which took place nearby in 1485 and played a crucial role in the War of the Roses.
The scheme in Stoke Golding, to be named “Stoche Acre” is HGP’s first investment alongside Cora and is set to deliver a mix of 2 to 5 bedroom home styles, which will benefit from allocated garages and parking, as well as electric vehicle charging points.
