Around Oakham.
Oakham is the county town of Rutland, the smallest county in England, with its Norman great hall hung with horseshoes, a well-known public school and Rutland Water just to the east. Much of the town and surrounding villages is built in honey-coloured stone, and property values are high. Customers expect careful, well-presented firms that understand older buildings. Visitor businesses around the reservoir have a summer season, while trades should name villages such as Langham and Cottesmore to catch the rural work.
Closest to Oakham within Rutland: Uppingham (6 miles). Just over the council boundary, Melton Mowbray (9 miles) is close by. Further out, Stamford (11 miles), Corby (13 miles), Syston (14 miles) and Oadby (15 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
