Construction work has begun at Barratt Homes North Midlands' latest new development, which will provide 170 new homes to the village of East Leake near Loughborough.

Located on Lantern Lane in East Leake, the new development, named Lantern Fields, will feature a broad range of energy-efficient two, three, four and five bedroom homes.

A number of homes will be released for sale at a special launch event on Thursday 27th November and the developer is encouraging prospective homebuyers to register their interest online a soon as possible to receive an exclusive invitation to the event.

John Dillon, Managing Director of Barratt Homes North Midlands, said, “We are very excited to announce that work has started at our Lantern Fields development and we look forward to inviting new homebuyers to our launch event on Thursday (27th November).”

The company will also be contributing more than half a million pounds to local projects, including education, healthcare, recreation and transport, through section 106 agreements.

John continued, “As a company we strongly believe that community investment is one of the most important aspects of any new housing scheme and to that end we plan to contribute a great deal to the local community of East Leake, both in terms of the high-quality homes we will be building and the jobs we will be creating.”

Located in the tranquil village of East Leake and surrounded by open fields, but not too far away from the larger town of Loughborough and the cities of Nottingham and Leicester, Lantern Fields offers the best of both worlds.

Featuring plenty of green open space, with local amenities, excellent schools and great commuter links nearby, it is perfectly suited to families and young professionals alike.

A leader in popular home design, Barratt Homes prides itself on creating exceptional homes for all and recently achieved the maximum five star rating in a customer satisfaction survey ran by the Home Builders Federation.
