A unique, substantial four-bedroom detached home set in a peaceful Mellor village location with wide countryside aspects. The house offers nearly 1,989 sq ft of accommodation including three separate living rooms, a sun room, kitchen and a large double garage with power and lighting. The large side plot (approximately a quarter of an acre) has accepted planning permission for a three-bedroom detached bungalow, presenting clear development or rental potential.
The upstairs layout includes four double bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom and an additional WC; many rooms enjoy pleasant rural views. The property’s size and layout suit a growing family needing flexible reception space, or an investor looking to add value by developing the plot and modernising the main house. Comparable local bungalows, once renovated, have achieved strong sale prices.
Buyers should note important practical issues: the EPC is rated F and cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so significant energy-efficiency upgrades will be needed. Broadband speeds are slow in this area despite excellent mobile signal. Council Tax Band F means ongoing running costs will be higher than average. The house dates from mid-20th century and will benefit from cosmetic and mechanical updating to reach its full potential.
Overall this is a rare village property combining generous living space, countryside character and a large plot with planning permission — ideal for a family seeking flexible accommodation or an investor aiming to add value. Viewings are recommended for those seeking both immediate family use and future development opportunities.
