| The Development | Wyndham Grange consists of a mixture of well-appointed semi-detached and detached new build homes and high specification apartments which are located in the listed lodge building and coach-houses. Surrounding the homes at Wyndham Grange is 5 acres of beautifully maintained parkland. The site has been very sympathetically designed to enable as many residents as possible to take in views of the established trees and grassed areas. Each and every home at Wyndham Grange has been built with today's modern lifestyles in mind. There are homes for those wishing to step onto the property ladder for the first time, as well as large detached family homes, perfect for those looking for more room to accommodate a growing family. The design and layout of the homes at Wyndham Grange also takes into account what is expected of a home in the 21st century. Some of the larger detached homes for example have rooms which are multi-functional and could be used as a home office or playroom. The apartments offer a 'lock up and go' lifestyle for older residents who might be wanting to spend some of their retirement in the sun or younger residents who travel away from home for work. Whatever your requirements Wyndham Grange has something to offer everyone. |
| The History | The converted lodge building which sits at the top of the hill was originally known as Hill House and is reputed to be the first house built south of the River Eye. Built during the reign of King George III by Mr Hind, a retired dealer in leather, it was later leased to the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield in 1828. Around 1840, Colonel Charles Wyndham took up residency and renamed the house Wyndham Lodge. Wyndham had a career in the military and in 1852 he was appointed to the prestigious position of Governor of the Tower of London and at the same time gained the heady rank of General. It was at this time that he gave up his local residence and left Melton Mowbray. Following a period of residence at the Lodge by Mr Bromley Davenport, MP for North Warwickshire, Wyndham Lodge was next leased to Mr William Augustus Chaplin. Chaplin set about demolishing the original building and constructed the building that we know today which is constructed of stone quarried from the nearby village of Wartnaby. Chaplin and his family enjoyed Wyndham Lodge for the next 30 years. Following this numerous tenants enjoyed the lodge until the end of World War I. In 1920 Colonel Richard Dalgleish bought Wyndham Lodge along with 15 acres of land and turned the lodge into a War Memorial Hospital which was opened by His Royal Highness Prince Henry on 19th January 1922. The lodge still had the remains of the hospital on show when it was taken over by Sowden Homes just a few years ago. Sowden Homes have used the former hospital as a center piece to the whole development and took inspiration from its name for the development. The crest you see used on the site logo has been recreated from one which appears on the former lodge building. |
