In the village there is a pub with restaurant, a children's playground and the nearby village of Wilbarston provides further amenities such as a primary school, shop with cafe and Post Office. There is an interesting mix of quality homes in the village, mainly of ironstone.

There is good private and state schooling available nearby. Of particular note are Spratton Hall and Stoneygate, Uppingham, Oakham and Leicester Grammar.
