We have a lot of restaurants and takeaways, including a lovely Italian restaurant and a good fish and chippy in Rothwell, plus a good butchers, a small Co-op and a small Tesco. There are a couple of small parks within the town ans some good field and wood walks close to our estate. There is a pretty good bus service with regular trips to Kettering, Corby, and Market Harborough, plus mainline railway stations in nearby Kettering and Market Harborough. BarnOwl Drive is nice and quiet and our house is just opposite a small estate green with trees and shrubs, we have good parking with a decent sized garage, and two car drive space, plus some visitor parking slots just close by. We have weekly bin collections and have not experienced any anti social behaviour in our part of the estate.

We wish we had known that the entry road onto the estate is to become a bypass for Rothwell onto the A6, it isn't open to public traffic yet but will be soon, which is likely to substantially increase the traffic on the estate.

What is the best feature of your home:

The best features of our house are the good size of our kitchen dinner, and master bedroom with ensuite, good amount of parking and a decent size of garden.
