On market for the first time in forty years is this unique and substantial 5-bedroom detached property measuring 3,500sq/f on the Cheshire/Derbyshire boarder. Based in the picturesque village of Mellor offering vast countryside views stands this remarkable property that would suit working professionals, those looking for multi-generational living, or investors looking for a perfect opportunity to further build or expand (subject to necessary planning) for a countryside retreat moments from the Derbyshire Dales.

Based across two plots, surround by a stone wall frontage and drive from the right side to the rear of the property offering ample off-road parking for 5 cars this ditched house offers a unique experience for anyone looking for a more comfortable way of life. The property was originally custom built in the 1970s for the famous music journalist Trevor Reynolds and later came into the vendors family and has been a family home for the last four generations spanning over 40 years.

Over the past ten years the property has had significant renovations, the most significant being a completely brand new roof completed in the Summer of 2022. Ceilings in each of the 6 substantial areas of the property have been plastered and ready for paint, while a new kitchen has been custom fitted with utility and breakfast bar laid in dark wood . The hall way leading from the main reception room into the open-plan kitchen and dining area has been newly tiled to enhance the kitchen and dining experience.

Ground Floor
Continuing on the ground floor you will find two bedrooms, both being of ample size for double beds encasing the vast reception/living room with beautifully slopping ceiling to custom built windows spanning one whole side of the living room offering beautiful bright light to the property, while also offering spectacular views to the countryside beyond.

Each of the downstairs bedrooms are accessed by each door on opposite sides leading off the reception room. The first is currently used as a study, but can fit a double bed with ease and is fed with natural light from its own skylight, newly fitted in 2022. The second ground floor bedroom leads through an oval door and step down into a substantial room that currently houses a large double bed, Chesterfield sofa and other bedroom furniture offering a quite retreat for those in their later years, making these two rooms perfect for those looking for a house for a multi-generational family.

These rooms could also be used as an office and cinema room if so desired to offer perfect work/home balance for working professionals who like to entertain. The ground floor also offers a full bathroom, again of ample size suitable for a large family or just to serve these two ground floor bedrooms.

First Floor
Leading off from the ground floor bathroom to the stairs opens up to a glorious vaulted hallway on the first floor offering high ceilings and beautiful natural light to the further three large double bedrooms, while still offering wonderful rural views as far as the eye can see, these rooms are also supported by a further full size bathroom.

Outside
Off from the utility on the ground floor is an enclosed and partially covered outside space leading to a storage shed and underground drive storage. Currently used as a small courtyard in the Summer. To the front of the property are two gardens separated by a flag-stone path leading from the road to the front porch.

Each garden section is laid to wonderful pink gravel and sand stoned boarders with seasonal plants and perennials. Behind the garden to the left, and in front of the living room is a half covered area, again laid in stone-flag paving, currently used for alfresco dining. This also leads to a path which wraps around the left hand side of the property to the vast tarmac drive at the back of the house.

This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. The buyer will be required to agree to our terms and conditions prior to solicitors being instructed.
