Location
The property is situated on a private road on the edge of the beautiful Melbourne Pool, a beautiful landscaped lake created in 1845 from an old mill stream for Lord Melbourne.In the 19th Century, Melbourne was a centre for framework knitting, boot and shoe manufacture. Market gardening was also an important part of its history and Thomas Cook, the travel agent, was employed in early life by a local Melbourne market gardener. Having found fame and fortune, Cook returned and in 1891 built a number of almshouses on the High Street which are still run in trust.
The most distinctive building in Melbourne is the Market Cross, located on the west side of the Market Place. The Market Cross dates to 1889 and was designed by James Wright. It was built by public subscription to celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee.
Melbourne today is a haven of superb restaurants, pubs and cafés together with a wealth of shopping opportunities including galleries, antique shops, specialist clothes stores, gift shops and local produce, split between the town centre and the Courtyard at Melbourne Hall.
It also holds a bakery, post office, infant & primary school, GP surgery, dentist and a veterinary surgery.
On a Thursday there is a market outside Melbourne Assembly Rooms, known for its food and drink stalls and each September the town organises the Melbourne Festival being two weeks of arts, crafts, musical performances, recitals and exhibitions. The Festival's Arts & Culture Trail leads you around the town allowing entry into residents' houses to view the work of talented artists and craft workers.
It is perfectly situated for access to the A50 and the city of Derby and is close to East Midlands Airport and East Midlands Parkway and is located less than an hours drive from the edge of the Peak District National Park. It is also a stones throw from Calke Abbey in Ticknell, with historic house, parklands, gardens, visitor centre and café, making it a favoured destination in the local area.
