Homes in Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray is a market town famous for pork pies and Stilton cheese, with Georgian and Victorian buildings around its centre. Older housing includes Victorian terraces and villas, with ironstone and limestone used in some older buildings in the town and surrounding villages. The town's older streets include Burton Street and the area around St Mary's church, with some fine Georgian townhouses.
Post-war and later estates cover much of the town, and new-build developments have been added in recent years. The town sits on the River Eye and River Wreake, which have a history of flooding. Parts of the surrounding area share the ironstone geology of Rutland, bringing radon into consideration. Melton has a long history as a hunting centre, and many grand Victorian hunting lodges were built in the town, some since converted to flats. The town has grown steadily, with new-build developments on its edges. Brick is typical in the newer estates.
Areas we cover include Thorpe End, Sysonby, Craven Lodge, Asfordby, Wymondham.
