Homes in Melbourne

Melbourne's conservation area, designated in 1969, has the densest cluster of listed buildings in South Derbyshire. The town's character is late Georgian, with a lot of red-brick houses with stone lintels. There are older timber-framed houses, 3 still thatched, a terrace on Station Road built from 1843, and the 14 Thomas Cook Memorial Cottages of 1890 and 1891. In Georgian rooms we plan socket and switch positions around shutters, panelling and original plaster.
