Occupying a substantial, gated plot on a sought-after south Melton road, this 1938 arts-and-crafts inspired detached home blends original period detail with family-sized accommodation. The property offers three reception rooms (including a home office), a contemporary kitchen, four bedrooms and a modern refitted bathroom — making it ready for everyday family life while retaining character such as oak floors, leaded bay windows and cast-iron radiators.
Outside is a major selling point: large front and rear gardens with mature trees, a brick-based greenhouse, raised vegetable beds, a pond, block-paved driveway, car port and a single garage with power and light. The location is convenient for local schools, Melton town centre and the train station within walking distance, so daily commuting and school runs are straightforward.
Practical notes: the house is freehold and uses mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Double glazing is present in timber and uPVC frames. There is one main bathroom plus a separate WC and useful outbuildings (utility, workshop, WC). EPC is pending (on order) and council tax is in Band F. Buyers should note the advertised crime level is above average for the area.
This property will suit a family seeking substantial outdoor space and period character who value proximity to local amenities. It also offers scope for further updating or cosmetic changes if a buyer wants to add value or alter layout, though the main living spaces are currently in good decorative order.
