THE LOCATION
Considered by most people as one of the most attractive villages in southern Derbyshire, Melbourne offers the best of the past and the present. Historic Melbourne Hall was the home of Queen Victoria's first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, who gave his name to Melbourne in Australia. The Norman parish church is described as \"a cathedral in miniature\". Melbourne was voted by The Times as one of the best places to live in Britain because of its community spirit and range of activities. Unlike many other picturesque places, Melbourne has a full range of shops including a butcher, a baker, a post office, florist and an electrical goods supplier The village even has its own monthly newspaper. It is situated between the bustling city of Derby and the fascinating town of Ashby de la Zouch. There are several good schools in the area. The property has good access to the M1, M42 and the A50 which links with the M6. East Midlands Parkway station with links to Leicester, Loughborough and London is a short drive away. It's ideal for working in the city and living two minutes' walk from rolling countryside.
