Hill Top View

Development Overview

Hill Top View is an upcoming new build development by Charles Church, located off Nottingham Road in the historic market town of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire (LE13 0NX). The development is approved for 48 high-quality, sustainable homes and is positioned to offer a balance between rural tranquility and modern convenience on the edge of the town centre. Charles Church, the 'premium' brand under the Persimmon group, currently holds a 5-star rating from the Home Builders Federation (HBF), reflecting its commitment to customer satisfaction. However, prospective buyers should note that historic reviews across the sector, including some for Charles Church, have indicated mixed experiences regarding initial snagging and after-sales service, underscoring the importance of post-completion inspection protocols.

Property Details

The Hill Top View development will feature a collection of two, three, four, and five-bedroom properties, ensuring a range of options for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers. All 48 new build homes are specified to include modern sustainability features as standard. These compulsory features include solar panels and electric vehicle (EV) charging points, addressing future energy and transport needs. While specific house types and floor plans are to be confirmed, all properties will be sold with a Charles Church 2-year warranty and a 10-year insurance-backed structural warranty, in line with the New Homes Quality Code. The developer has secured planning permission from Melton Borough Council, with work expected to begin shortly, and sales launch dates to be shared in the coming months.
