Summary - Knowle Road, Mellor, Stockport SK6 5PL
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large mature garden, stream and extensive parking in coveted Mellor.
- Five double bedrooms and three reception rooms
A handsome Edwardian five-bedroom detached family home occupying an extremely large, privately planted plot in sought-after Mellor. The house retains generous period features — timber framing, bay windows and high ceilings — and offers three reception rooms, fitted kitchen with Aga and extensive cellars accessed from outside. The mature rear garden, stream and detached timber garage (with inspection pit) create a semi-rural feel while remaining close to Mellor Primary and local shops.
Practical positives include ample off-road parking, a large driveway, separate WC and useful workshop space in the cellar. Heating is by boiler and radiators with the option of wood-burning fuel; glazing is double but installation date is unknown. The plot and layout present clear scope for extension or sympathetic modernisation to increase living space and value.
Buyers should note some material considerations: the sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), the property dates from c.1900–1929 and may require insulation, electrical or energy-efficiency upgrades. There are two bathrooms only for five bedrooms and council tax is described as expensive. The cellars and garage will need inspection for structural or damp issues before purchase.
Well suited to families seeking space, character and countryside access, this home offers a rare plot in a village setting with good schools nearby and straightforward commuter links into Manchester. It rewards buyers prepared to carry out selective updating to maximise comfort and long-term value.
