The owners worked meticulously to revive original features throughout the property and although the front door had to be replaced, the original lock was reinstated. A window above the paned front door adds to the natural light along the flag stoned hallway. Across from the sitting room is the dual aspect dining room with views south and west. The open fireplace, with original slate surround, provides a delightful focal point to the room. To the end of the hallway, a tiled, downstairs WC completes the ground floor. Alighting the wooden stairs, rising to the first floor, a large sash window ensures the landing is light and bright.

A further double bedroom with dual access and views over the courtyard also has a beautiful feature fireplace.

Down a couple of steps into the ensuite, there is a free-standing roll top bath with views to the west. The landing hallway has loft access and there is an airing cupboard with emersion heater and shelving for laundry and linens. OUTSIDE AND OUT-BUILDINGS Debadale Farm can be found at the end of a mile long track set in the undulating countryside of the Wolds. The land boasts one of the highest points in the area and has spectacular views in all directions, the home itself sheltered in the ‘Happy Valley’. The best of both worlds, Debdale Farm is beautifully secluded and private, yet all connected to Melton Mowbray and local villages, as well as having neighbours positioned just over a field away. Debdale Farm enjoys 34 acres of land which has been divided into an 8-acre paddock, known as the Home Paddock, a second 8 acre paddock across the brook (one of the main brooks into Melton Mowbray) and a 17-acre paddock, the remainder of the land composing of landscaped gardens, orchard, driveway and parking/turning area. The 17-acre paddock has good access to a bridle path. Due to the hill scape of the 17-acre paddock, it has great potential for a canter track. Some of the land falls to rig and furrow and the paddocks have previously produced good meadow hay and are currently grazed by both horses and sheep. 26 years ago, the owners landscaped the immediate gardens, placing hedgerows and planting trees creating a haven for local wildlife. The old orchard within the grounds has been restocked with new additions. The formal lawn extends from the west facing dining terrace and there is a raised lawn surrounded by yew. The south facing, front of the home is largely laid to lawn with a spring fed pond surrounded by willows. A courtyard garden completes the grounds with box hedging. A large agricultural barn provides shelter for bales and space for equestrian or other vehicles. Due to its size, it also has potential for crew yards/ conversion to American barn-style stabling. There are 2 large, red brick garages one of which also features a workshop. The owners restored the garages rebuilding the gable end and insulating both the floors and walls. Adjoined to the garaging is the two-storey, old granary barn with pantile roof which has been maintained over the years to prevent any damp and is currently used for storage. The old granary has an abundance of potential to be converted (STP), taking advantage of the stunning views from the first floor. Between the old granary and the farmhouse is a concrete stable yard, contained by an attractive red brick wall, accessed by either the main gate or side gate. Two of the stables are currently utilised with a feed barn leading to the farmhouse courtyard. There is also a wash box and a further two stables featuring the original dairy mangers and pipes with access to the old granary. The circular hard standing also has a drain. A coal and oil shed and a wood store concludes the outbuildings around the grounds.

  • History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold
    History of the Parish of Waltham on the Wolds and Thorpe Arnold Waltham-on-the-Wolds The village is situated in the northeast corner of Leicestershire, five miles from Melton Mowbray, eleven miles from Grantham and approximately twenty miles from Leicester, Nottingham, Newark and Stamford. It is positioned on the eastern edge of the Leicestershire Wolds, overlooking the Vale of Belvoir from a height of 168m (560ft), making it the second highest village in the county. Geologically, Waltham stands on a mixture of clay and red marl with underlying strata of Jurassic limestone, which has been quarried locally and used in the building of many of the older houses in the village. There is little evidence of any settlement in the area earlier than AD 800. The Domesday Book reference to Waltham reveals that the village belonged to Hugh of Grandmesnil who, after the Norman Conquest, was the largest landowner in the county. Hugh allowed a man named Walter to hold a major part of the village and surrounding area. Some say that this arrangement gave Waltham its name – Walt’s Ham (Walter’s Town). However, earlier records refer to the village as Wautham – so another theory is that the name may have been derived from Weald (woody), Ham (town) and, the Saxon word, Wold (a hill or high place). THE WALTHAM TIME-LINE • 1086 Waltham mentioned in the Domesday Book • C1200 St Mary Magdalene Church built • C1300 Church rebuilt • Medieval Era Waltham market & annual fair established under a charter granted by Henry III 5h Century The Horseshoes (later the Royal Horseshoes) built and alterations to the Church • 1541 Parts of the village belonging to the various religious houses at the dissolution of the monasteries were granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Manners, Earl of Rutland • 18th Century Market ceases to trade but annual fair continues – seventeen alehouses in the village.

  • WOTWATA NDP Examination Report
    Town and Country Planning Act 1990 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 WALTHAM ON THE WOLDS AND THORPE ARNOLD NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2017 - 2036 INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION Report to Melton Borough Council by Edward Cousins BA, LLM December 2017 1 SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS 1. I am satisfied that the consultation exercise conducted by the Parish Council fulfils the Regulation 14 requirements, and the “Sedley Criteria”. 2. As my conclusions in the Interim Draft Report were at variance with some of my initial views as recorded in my Draft Conclusions and Note, the statutory provisions particularly relating to the Strategic Environmental Assessment and the Habitats Directive, were the subject of detailed consideration and legal analysis. In this Final Report I have retained this legal analysis for the purposes of background information to the Neighbourhood Development Plan. 3. From the evidence made available since the Draft Conclusions and the Note were produced, I came to the conclusion that the Borough Council had complied with its obligations to provide a formal reasoned Regulation 9 determination, and that a full Strategic Environmental Assessment was unnecessary. However, as originally it appeared that the Parish Council as a “responsible authority” had apparently not provided such a determination, I considered that this should be addressed. Accordingly, on 7th December 2017 the Parish Council did so provide such a determination, which, in my judgment, satisfies the legal requirements. 4. It was also apparent that Natural England and Historic England had been consulted, but (as stated in the Interim Draft Report) it was not immediately apparent that the other Agencies had been so consulted.

    Rural Economy Planning Toolkit Companion Document Instructions for Using the Toolkit Useful Context Information Produced by: Funded by: Rural Economic Development Planning Toolkit This document explains how to use the toolkit in greater detail and sets out some of the broader context relevant to the development of the toolkit. Its sections are: Instructions for Using the Toolkit Economic Development Context The Emerging National Framework for Planning and Development The assessment of planning applications for rural economic development: designated sites and key issues for Leicestershire authorities What makes a good rural economic development planning proposal? Case Studies Parish Broadband Speeds The Distribution and Contribution of Rural Estates within Leicestershire Attractions in Leicester and Leicestershire Instructions - Using the Toolkit The toolkit is in the form of an interactive PDF document. Most of the text is locked, and you cannot change it. Throughout the toolkit, though, comments, information and responses are asked for, and boxes you can type in are provided. You are also asked to select 'traffic lights' – red, amber or green. It is important to understand that, if you start with a blank copy of the toolkit, the first thing you should do is save it with a different name using the 'Save as Copy' command in Acrobat Reader. This means you have now created a version of the toolkit for the particular project you are working on, and still have the blank copy of the toolkit for another time.

  • St. Mary's Chapel, Brentingby-Excavations and Observations by P
    St. Mary's Chapel, Brentingby-excavations and observations by P. Liddle and S. R. Hughes INTRODUCTION Brentingby Chapel (SK 785.187) lies some H miles to the east of Melton Mowbray, overlooking the Eye Valley (Fig. 1). The village community is now extremely small and could not support the Chapel which became redundant in the 1950s. The condition of the building seriously deteriorated until in 1978 it was purchased for conversion into a house. A small trial excavation was carried out in 1972-3 by P. Liddle, S. R. Hughes and N. Moon to assess the archreological potential of the site. Lack of time and resources prevented the total excavation that the site properly demanded, but as a plan of the early building could be recovered without damaging the stratigraphy, this was achieved. A watching brief has been maintained by the Leicestershire Museums Archreological Survey Team during the conversion and this work is included in the report. DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE The first written reference to Brentingby that has been traced is to be found in the 'Leicestershire Survey' of c. 1125,1 when the village was held by the Earl of Leicester as part of the fee of Thorpe Arnold. There seems no reason, however, to believe that the village is not considerably older than this and merely escaped notice in the surviving documents. Soon after Leicester Abbey was founded in 1143 Ernald de Bosco, who had acquired a large estate from the Earl, gave the mother church of Thorpe Arnold2 to the Abbey. Fig. 1.

    COMMITTEE DATE: 15th November 2018 Reference: 18/01204/CM (County Matter) Date Received: 08.10.2018 Applicant: Leicestershire County Council Environment & Transport (LCC Planning Officer: Claire Spokes; LCC Ref: 2018/Reg3Ma/0182/LCC) Location: Land to the North and East of Melton Mowbray (c. 200 hectares) Proposal: North and East Melton Mowbray Distributor Road. New distributor road and 3m shared cycle/footway around Melton Mowbray from west of A606 Nottingham Road at St Bartholomew's Way to west of the A606 Burton Road at Sawgate Road including: six new roundabouts; bridges at Scalford Brook, Thorpe Brook, River Eye and the Leicester-Peterborough railway line (to the east of Lag Lane Brentingby Jnct.); and ancillary development including works to connecting roads, diversion of River Eye, creation of new and enhanced habitats, landscaping, demolition of Sysonby Farm, works to cycleways and footpaths, development f a NMU route along Lag Lane/Sawgate Road and flood risk/drainage works (including but not limited to culverts and balancing ponds). Introduction:- The proposal for the northern and eastern sections of the Melton Mowbray Distributor Road (MMDR) has been submitted to Leicestershire County Council by the County Council’s Highway Authority under Regulation 3 (Town and Country Planning General Regulations 1992) as it is a County Council led highway scheme. Melton Borough Council is a statutory consultee to the application, and therefore is expected to provide formal comments to Leicestershire County Council in respect of the planning application. The project is a result of extensive consultation with the local community and key stakeholders, and forms the core part of the infrastructure required to deliver the homes and businesses that form the basis of the recently adopted Melton Local Plan.
