LIVING IN HOULTON
This piece of stunning landscape was made famous in 1927 when its familiar radio masts transmitted the country’s first ever phone conversation across the globe. This call was made to America, and was received in a town in Maine, called Houlton.

THE NEIGHBOURS
The cows, sheep and rabbits offer great company and it's lovely when you see our resident owls and curlews. You may bump into the folk from nearby Hillmorton and Clifton-upon-Dunsmore whilst in the café or walking the dog. At Houlton, we are blending all of the things that make living in the East of Rugby great - the village amenities of Hillmorton and the community spirit of Clifton.
HEALTH & WELLBEING
Run, cycle or stroll through the open space, common areas, fields and footpaths crisscrossing the land. Pick fruit or wildflowers on route.
If you’re young at heart then swing, slide, climb or ride. Or just take in the fresh air.
And creating a perfect picture of health – Houlton will also feature its own 8 GP health centre.
INTERACTIVE MASTERPLAN
THE SCHOOL RUN
You’ll never be more than a mile to the school gate at Houlton, whether your little one is 4 or 14. The specially designed civic space around our schools means that even the school gate has been crafted with you in mind.
From day one there will be an array of walkways and cycleways designed into the First Phase which makes getting to school on foot or bicycle very easy. If you are in the car, then we've also designed the school to make the drop off and pick up easy.
EDUCATION
Rugby is famous for its schooling and we are looking to emulate this high performing reputation in the brand new schools at Houlton.
Our first primary school will open in 2018 and will be run through an Academy Trust and co-sponsored by the Diocese of Coventry and developer Urban&Civic. St Gabriel’s CofE Academy has been selected as the name for the school, after the Patron Saint of Communication and reflective of Houlton’s fascinating history.
This school is part of a wider masterplan which will see three new primary schools and a secondary school built at Houlton.
CONNECTIVITY
This is one of the most well-connected places in the country, and from Rugby you can reach 80% of the country within 4 hours. So whether it’s visiting family, weekends away or the daily commute – you couldn’t be in a better place.
