Set within private gated grounds, this former hunting lodge has been sympathetically converted into a spacious three-bedroom villa with abundant period character. High ceilings, sash windows, decorative coving and a sweeping staircase give the principal rooms a formal, impressive feel, while the open-plan kitchen/diner and large sitting room provide practical family living and entertaining space. The property includes a master bedroom with ensuite, a Jack-and-Jill family bathroom, utility room, private garden, garage and off-street parking.
The house sits in approximately two acres of mature communal grounds with protected trees, plus its own landscaped formal garden and patio — a rare outside setting for town living. Heating is gas-fired with dual controls and there are quality fittings in the bathrooms and kitchen, including granite worktops and integrated appliances. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: the building is Grade II listed, which will influence alterations and may complicate some changes. An area of the development has previously had Japanese knotweed and is currently on a long-term herbicide programme; paperwork is available. Annual management contributions of £800 cover gates, lighting, communal grounds and insurance. Council tax is band E. Note the local area indicators: high recorded crime and wider area deprivation, which some buyers will want to consider alongside the property’s privacy and grounds.
This home will suit buyers seeking character, generous proportions and private outdoor space close to Melton Mowbray centre, and who are comfortable with listed-building constraints and the maintenance responsibilities that come with a large period property.
