Main Street, Saxelby, Nr Melton Mowbray

A unique opportunity to acquire substantial former dairy premises with potential to convert some of the existing buildings into residential use by restoring the original 17th Century cottages into perhaps three or four mews houses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The site of approximately 0.28 acres is located in the picturesque village of Saxelbye, which is surrounded by beautiful rolling open countryside some three miles north west of the thriving town of Melton Mowbray. Melton has a comprehensive range of shops and supermarkets, schools, bars and restaurants, together with a railway station which sits on the line operating between Birmingham New Street and Cambridge, with services to Stansted Airport.

Websters Dairy has been extended substantially over the years into a vast building in excess of 700 sq m, set over two floors, now offering great potential for residential development. The frontages of the former cottages are easily visible, showing their brick elevations beneath pitched slated roofs. The site enjoys a wide frontage to Main Street, with a right of way to the left hand side and rear of the site giving pedestrian access to the rear.

The overall plot is of excellent size, mainly grassed with a walled frontage to the side onto Main Street.
