DEFIANT locals living in one of the UK's poshest villages have insisted: "We're no snobs".<\/p>\n

Newtown Linford in Leicestershire was recently named one of the poshest villages in Britain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The stunning chocolate boxvillage is teeming with millionaires and lavish gated mansions.<\/p>\n

Among the richer residents are British billionaire Sir Bill Adderley, founder of Dunelm, and Jon Jorgensen, boss of one of the country's biggest software companies.<\/p>\n

Former Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is also an ex-resident.<\/p>\n

But locals say despite the picturesque views and luxury homes, there is one thing lacking in the village.<\/p>\n

Scott McGarry, whose wife teaches Pilates in the village hall, told The Sun Online: "The only thing the village misses is a corner shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he added: "It is a really pleasant place to live and we don\u2019t have too many, if any, village idiots here!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is full of lots of entrepreneurs who have done very well for themselves but they don't go round splashing the cash and they are very down to earth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere may be an element of estranged snobbery but we don\u2019t see it here."<\/p>\n

While Kerry Walton, who runs an art group at All Saints Church, said the only downside is the fact \u201cyou can't buy a bottle of milk\u201d as there are no shops.<\/p>\n

She also told how the bus service is \u201can issue\u201d, with only three buses a day going into Leicester city.<\/p>\n

But Kerry praised the village's extensive activities – including a church choir, play groups, exercise classes and sport.<\/p>\n

She also laughed off suggestions the village is the poshest in the country, saying: "Define posh!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kerry continued: "Posh makes it sound snobby but it is certainly not. <\/p>\n

"You can't get a house for much under a million but there is a not a class divide here."<\/p>\n

Newtown Linford was named as of the UK's poshest village for 2023 by the\u00a0Daily Telegraph.<\/p>\n

The average house price in the area is \u00a3692,157 with its "posh appeal" granted thanks to a private members club and close proximity to Bradgate Park.<\/p>\n

There is also a rare police box which is one of the only surviving boxes in the UK.<\/p>\n

Locals say the village is "idyllic" with a friendly community always willing to stop and chat or lend a hand.<\/p>\n

One long term resident said: \u201cThe village is perfect with everyone living in harmony. <\/p>\n

"Yes, there is a lot of money here and at times feels like a Porsche race track but the village has a heart and soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

While retired librarian Maggie said: \u201cIt is a very posh village and prices are disgustingly expensive for the East Midlands.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the 63-year-old continued: \u201cI\u2019m not surprised it\u2019s been voted the poshest village in the country.<\/p>\n

"It is lovely place and has an easy going charm.\u201d<\/p>\n
