Description
Built around 1770 ‘The White House' stands in a prominent position with views over the ruins of Melbourne Castle. Once three separate dwellings this Georgian building was converted into one large town house after being auctioned in 1886. To the rear of the house and off the courtyard garden is a sizeable 19th building now converted into a studio flat. Both buildings retain many original features which include leaded windows, original timber beams and period interior doors. The house comes with extensive deeds and documents dating back to 1814. A detailed historical survey was undertaken in 2002 and a copy is available on request. The house has 4 double bedrooms. A family bathroom, cloakroom with wc and a large en-suite to the master bedroom with roll top bath. The central heating system and the boiler are under 2 years old. The lounge has a log burner and the dining room has an original Victorian fireplace, both have real oak flooring. The kitchen has a gas hob with extractor, limestone floor and built-in appliances. Our house stands in Castle Street one of the prettiest parts of Melbourne, a small Derbyshire market town. The property is in the centre of the conservation area and a stones throw from the countryside. We've loved living here as everything is right on our doorstep. Nottingham is approx. 20 miles away or a 30 minutes car journey. Derby 8 miles, Birmingham 30 miles (straight down the M42) and Leicester 22 miles. We are about 4 miles from junction 23a M1.
