Characterful three-bedroom village cottage with parking and garden, ideal for family renovation.
Grade II listed — works will require listed-building consents
A charming Grade II listed cottage in Melling village, Todds House blends period character with generous, flexible accommodation. Original beams, stone fireplaces and cottage windows create a warm, authentic interior while a later ground-floor addition and mezzanine offer home-office or flexible living potential. The property sits in a delightful cottage garden with an enclosed rear lawn and rare off-street parking for three to four cars.
This home will suit families prioritising village life, countryside views and good local schools. The layout provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom; downstairs includes a large dining hall, sociable kitchen with views over the garden, utility and a cosy living room with a wood-burning stove. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical everyday benefits.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is Listed (Grade II) and will involve statutory restrictions and potential consent for works; it currently needs renovation. Construction notes indicate cavity walls without added insulation and some modernisation of services and finishes will be required. The plot is modest but private, and the parking area is an uncommon advantage in the centre of this sought-after Lune Valley village.
If you want a characterful family home with scope to update and personalise in a very accessible countryside setting, this property offers strong potential — provided you factor in listed‑building constraints and renovation costs.
