Location

Melbourne is a small, elegant Georgian market town nestled in the rolling countryside of South Derbyshire. Poised midway between the city of Derby to the north and the vibrant town of Ashby-de‐la-Zouch to the south, Melbourne strikes a perfect balance between tranquillity and connectivity.
More than simply picturesque, the town offers a warm and welcoming community atmosphere. At its heart, you’ll discover an array of boutique shops, antique galleries, and local craft stores, as well as independent cafés, charming delicatessens, butchers, and farm‐shops - all rooted in traditional, small‐town character. Culinary experiences abound, with a refined collection of bistros, gastro pubs, and cafés serving locally sourced fare.

Everyday amenities are also very accessible: There is a pharmacy, a well-regarded chemist, a Sainsbury’s Local, and other essential services to support a thriving, self-sufficient community.

For families and first-time buyers, Melbourne is served by highly regarded local schools, including both infant and junior schools.

Community is enhanced by the Melbourne Assembly Rooms, a hub for social life, which hosts concerts, theatre performances, exercise classes and a broad range of groups.

Melbourne’s cultural life is truly exceptional. Every September, the town comes alive with the Melbourne Festival, centred on its Art & Architecture Trail. During the festival, more than 140 artists exhibit works in private homes, historic halls, and public buildings, while live music, craft stalls, food fairs and street performances bring the town together.

The Creative Melbourne Gallery, which plays a key role in the festival, also supports year-round artistic engagement and hosts exhibitions, creative workshops, and development programmes.

Heritage and history pervade the town too: Melbourne Hall & Gardens, with its beautifully landscaped grounds, sits beside Melbourne Pool - a historic mill pond that once powered the town’s mills.

Transport links are excellent: The property enjoys convenient access to the A50, M1, and M42 motorways, making Derby, Birmingham, and other Midland towns easily accessible.
