Homes in Breaston

Breaston had 680 people in 1851 and over 4,500 by 2001. The station opened in 1839 and growth moved out along Longmoor Lane, and in the 20th century the village expanded a long way to the west and east. The conservation area, designated in 1979, is mostly red brick with slate or plain tile roofs and short terraces, and St Michael's Church is Grade I listed. With homes from so many decades, the electrics range from old boards with no RCD to modern ones. Older kitchens are often running too much off one circuit.
