Mellor Lane, Mellor, BB2

Occupying a lovely position within the sought-after village of Mellor, this charming three-bedroom, stone-built semi-detached home offers a wonderful opportunity for those looking to create a characterful property in a peaceful and picturesque setting. Full of traditional features, with three double bedrooms and open countryside views to the rear, the property extends to approximately 1,600 sq ft and has a genuine cottage feel throughout, with plenty of scope for modernisation and personalisation.

The accommodation begins with a stone-floored entrance vestibule, leading into a welcoming living room with a beautiful bay window, exposed stone feature wall and an attractive stone fireplace with living flame gas fire and mantel. Original-style wooden beams add further character, whilst the adjoining kitchen provides generous space for both cooking and dining, with fitted cabinetry, tiled flooring, a wood-panelled ceiling, gas hob, two integrated ovens and access to the rear porch. The rear porch provides a handy space for boots and cloak storage.

Remaining on the ground floor is a particularly generous L-shaped living/dining room, enjoying a large bay window which floods the room with natural light. Wooden beams, a stone display feature and stone windowsills enhance the character of the room, whilst a staircase leads to the first floor and French doors open onto the rear garden. A useful downstairs wet room adds further practicality and includes an electric shower, wash basin and WC, with features designed to provide ease of use and accessibility.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from an abundance of fitted wardrobes and storage, whilst the second double bedroom also offers fitted storage. The third bedroom provides a further versatile double bedroom, ideal for family, guests or home working. A generously sized family bathroom completes the first floor and includes a panelled bath with overhead shower, wash basin, WC and useful fitted storage.

Outside, the property continues to impress, with a flagged front garden complemented by mature shrubs and off-road parking. To the rear is a private garden with a paved area, steps leading up to the lawn, mature evergreens and beautiful far-reaching views over open countryside, creating a peaceful space in which to enjoy the surrounding countryside. Two useful external storage buildings provide additional space, with power and drainage available for a washing machine.

Mellor is a well-regarded village set on a high ridge overlooking the surrounding countryside, Ribble Valley and Blackburn. Despite its peaceful, rural character, the village is well served by everyday amenities, including a village shop and post office, pharmacy, GP surgery, library, primary school, village hall and a selection of local pubs.

Blackburn town centre is approximately 3.5 miles away, providing a broader range of shopping, leisure and professional services, whilst the surrounding villages of Mellor Brook, Balderstone and Osbaldeston are also within easy reach. The A59 provides convenient access towards Preston and the wider motorway network, making the location well suited to both rural and commuter lifestyles.
