Summary - SCALFORD HALL THE OLD COTTAGE MELTON ROAD SCALFORD MELTON MOWBRAY LE14 4UB
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Large period family home with substantial garden and extensive parking in peaceful Scalford..
Approximately 3,500 sq ft including garages
Tucked just off Melton Road at The Old Cottage, this detached period home offers expansive living across approximately 3,500 sq ft. Character features such as exposed beams and a Tudor Revival brick façade give the house a distinctive rural charm, while large reception rooms provide flexible family space for entertaining and day-to-day living.
Externally the property sits on a large plot with mature trees and a substantial garden, set in a peaceful hamlet location with open countryside nearby. Generous parking and garaging — room for multiple vehicles — is a practical rarity for a rural home and will suit families with several cars or hobby vehicles.
Practical realities to note: the building dates from before 1900, with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and oil-fired boiler heating. Double glazing was installed before 2002. Council tax is above average and running costs may be higher than modern equivalents. Mobile signal indoors is limited and broadband varies by service level (standard ~19 Mbps; ultrafast options listed). These factors present clear renovation and energy-improvement potential for a buyer looking to upgrade fabric and services.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a substantial period home in a very affluent, low-crime rural setting — families or those wanting multi-generational accommodation. It offers immediate character and space, with scope for targeted investment to modernise insulation, heating and connectivity to reduce ongoing costs and improve comfort.
