Moor End Road, Mellor, SK6

Escape to the Country – Characterful Cottage on the Outskirts of Mellor

A beautifully presented stone-built cottage in the picturesque village of Mellor, steeped in charm and thoughtfully updated throughout.  The perfect blend of traditional character and modern convenience.

Set in a peaceful conservation area, the property enjoys a sunny south-facing front aspect with a low-maintenance garden and seating area – ideal for soaking up the countryside views and watching the world go by.

Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the inviting open-plan layout. The living space is light and airy, with a log-burning stove nestled beneath an oak beam mantel – perfect for cosy nights in. A built-in bookcase and storage cupboard add both practicality and charm, while natural light floods in from the front aspect.

The kitchen was fully refitted in 2020 and offers an impressive mix of style and functionality. Contemporary grey wall and base units (including coveted curved corner cabinets), solid oak worktops, and bespoke copper splashbacks combine to create a striking space. Integrated appliances include a Bosch five-plate flex-zone hob, Neff 'Slide and Hide' oven, Blomberg dishwasher and washer/dryer. The Worcester combi boiler is neatly housed within a wall unit.

Storage has been cleverly maximised throughout, including under-stairs space accommodating a full-height fridge/freezer and three additional cupboards.

To the rear, a stable door opens onto a small courtyard with room to sit out and steps lead up to a shared parking area with some unallocated spaces.

The master bedroom occupies the entire top floor and is a true retreat, offering space, warmth, and fantastic countryside views from the charming window seat (which also doubles as storage). Fitted wardrobes, exposed beams and built-in cupboards enhance the character of this tranquil space. A boarded loft area, accessed via a hatch, provides extra storage.

On the first floor are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom two is a double bedroom with stunning views currently in use as an office – while bedroom three is a cosy single. The bathroom features a three-piece suite with shower.
