This historic Edwardian estate, originally built in 1908, offers an exceptional opportunity for a visionary buyer to restore and repurpose Scalford Hall. Nestled in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside near Melton Mowbray, this property combines rich history with substantial potential for refurbishment. Once a retreat for the elite and a successful country house hotel, it now awaits a new chapter.
Spread over approximately 35,000 sq ft across four floors, the estate features a variety of reception areas and 81 letting bedrooms, all set within roughly 8.2 acres of landscaped grounds. The original architectural elements remain intact, providing a solid foundation for renovation while also allowing for modern updates necessary to meet current standards.
The property retains its charm with its ornate fireplace gifted by King Edward VIII and traditional public areas ready to be reimagined into contemporary spaces. With extensive infrastructure already in place, including biomass heating and borehole water supply, potential buyers can focus on design and layout enhancements without needing extensive groundwork.
The expansive grounds feature mature trees and dedicated parking facilities alongside ancillary buildings that could easily be adapted into additional guest accommodation or event spaces. Whether aiming to revive it as a luxury hotel, spa retreat, or private estate, this property provides ample room for creative development subject to planning approvals.
Scalford Hall is positioned conveniently with good transport links to nearby towns and attractions such as Belvoir Castle and the forthcoming Grantham Designer Outlet Village—ideal locations that promise both footfall and visitor engagement. This blank canvas presents an exciting investment opportunity in the heart of England's scenic countryside.
