With gas fired central heating and sealed unit double glazing, the property has been designed with numerous Victorian design features of the period and offers substantial family accommodation with approximately 2,950 sq. ft. of accommodation.

The Property Marlborough House is a fine substantial detached property built in 2005 by specialist builders Cairns Homes and owned from new by the current owners. Mentioned in the national census as "outstanding in character of the village" Marlborough House was highlighted in the Charnwood Conservation area appraisal along with its neighbouring properties by the same builder. "The adjacent new builds of 12A and 12B seek to replicate the style of agricultural buildings and the development works well in this setting. This is juxtaposed to the adjacent Marlborough House which draws on a grander architectural style." With a rear elevation as impressive as the front, design features include large bay windows with sandstone heads and sills and bespoke sliding slash double glazed windows. Other influences of the period include a spacious reception hall with galleried landing and superb Victorian tiled floor, high ceilings and deep moulded cornicing, the exterior brick work being highly detailed with Flemish bond with attractive corbelling and dressed windows. In all, a substantial family home ideal for a growing family within easy access of excellent local schooling at Loughborough and Ratcliffe College and easy commuting to Leicester, Nottingham, Loughborough and Melton Mowbray, the A46 just to the south providing access to Newark and Lincoln.
