Conservation Areas in Harborough district - Ullesthorpe Conservation Area

The Conservation Area of Ullesthorpe incorporates the older core of a village which has expanded by peripheral 20th century housing development. Its core comprises loosely clustered 19th century and early 20th century brick and slate houses and cottages, some are whitewashed and some have good brick detailing as the Lawn in Mill Road. Notable in Mill Road are the Granary Cottages - a terrace of four 3-storeyed cottages with cast iron windows and blue brick details and the brick tower of the Windmill (whose sails and fantail are lost). The street scene at the bends and road junctions of Main Street, College Street and the Frolesworth Road makes an attractive focal point to the settlement. Manor Road is especially significant in the Conservation Area; it terminates in Manor Farm with the Manor House between the farm buildings and the Scheduled Ancient Monument of a mediaeval settlement. The buildings in Manor Road are more spread out and include cottages, farmhouses and The Congregational Church with The Manse of 1825. Red brick and slate predominate with some granite in walls and in the Manor House itself - a building in a significant location
