Melton Manor

Development Overview

Melton Manor is a new build development by Taylor Wimpey, located off Melton Spinney Road, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, LE13 1UZ. The development is situated within the designated Melton North Sustainable Neighbourhood (MNSN), an area planned for significant residential and community growth. The current offering consists of a collection of new-build houses, with availability spanning from 2-bedroom units—some previously offered under a First Home Scheme—up to expansive 5-bedroom family homes.

While the initial phase of Melton Manor is now approaching completion, with sources indicating that only the final homes remain available, the development provides a mix of properties for various buyer profiles, from first-time buyers to growing families. Current price examples for late-stage availability include 3-bedroom semi-detached 'Braxton' house types at approximately £300,000 and the 5-bedroom detached 'Winterford' house type listed at £525,000. For the most current plot-specific pricing and viewing arrangements, prospective buyers should contact Taylor Wimpey directly.

Property Details

The development features a diverse range of house types, including detached, semi-detached, and terraced properties, designed using locally distinctive materials, such as red and traditional brick. The product mix encompasses 3-bedroom models like The Gosford and The Easedale; 4-bedroom homes such as The Wortham and The Haddenham; and substantial 5-bedroom detached designs, including The Winterford (with a double garage) and The Garrton (a three-storey home featuring a dedicated study). Many of the new build homes at Melton Manor benefit from a high energy efficiency rating, with most properties receiving an A or B rating. Specific internal layouts often include open-plan kitchen/dining spaces and French doors opening onto private gardens.

Location Benefits

Situated in Melton Mowbray, known as Britain’s ‘Rural Capital of Food’ for its Stilton cheese and Pork Pies, Melton Manor offers residents both countryside access and essential urban links. The site benefits from proximity to the under-construction Melton Mowbray Distributor Road, offering enhanced connectivity, and provides direct road links to Leicester and Nottingham, which are easily accessible by car. Melton Mowbray train station is conveniently located less than 2 miles from the site, providing regular rail services. Local public transport is supported by the Leicestershire Network Bus Map, with a £2 maximum bus fare currently in place until December 2024.

Essential amenities are within a mile, with the high street offering a mixture of independent stores and national retailers. Recreational and family amenities are numerous: the development is close to Melton Country Park, Melton Mowbray Golf Club, and Twinlakes Theme Park. For education, the area is served by several schools, from primary to academies and colleges, many of which hold good Ofsted ratings; the adjacent land for Phase 2 development includes provision for a potential future primary school site.
