Location - Mellor is a lovely village on the southern fringe of the Ribble Valley with excellent communication links to Blackburn, Preston and Clitheroe.
Accommodation - Set back from the road behind a stone walled gated curtilage, the front door opens to a wide vestibule with a quarry tiled floor and plenty of space to greet a visitor. At the end there is a cupboard in which is housed the central heating boiler. With windows on its south east gable wall and west facing rear wall, the lounge is both light and spacious, sunlight streaming through four large windows. A most pleasant room with heavy set ceiling beams resting into a stone faced chimney breast focal point. In the corner a quarter return staircase rises, with elegant newel posts and rails. The similarly spacious sitting room is square in shape with a trademark low ceiling and exposed beam, keeping you toasty and warm in the cooler months, a solid fuel glass door stove resting on a stone hearth within a brick lined fireplace. The shelved bookcase has been created from a former doorway. In a very pleasing way the kitchen is open to a dining conservatory framed in PVCu with double glazed roof and windows. French doors allow access to the garden. In the kitchen you'll see a stunning arrangement of Shaker style cabinetry featuring "in-frame" doors, polished wood counters and splashback tiling in the Metro style. There is space for a range-style cooker, flanked each side with wine bottle storage. The integrated appliances consist of a fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. The floor is tiled for practicality with electric underfloor heating an added luxury.
The first floor landing is square in shape with a spindled wood balustrade and an exposed ceiling beam. A window on the half landing brings in light and there is a loft access hatch. You'll also see a useful shelved cupboard. The large master bedroom has a part sloping ceiling with an exposed beam. Bedroom 2 is similarly generous in size with exposed beam, part sloping ceiling and a run of built-in wardrobes along one wall. Bedroom 3 is a charming room, able to take a double bed if required; with both a casement window and a Velux window in the sloping part of the ceiling. Cleverly tucked in beneath the ceiling beam there is a built-in wardrobe, cupboard and drawer combination. Following the spacious theme the four-piece bathroom can truly be referred to as stylishly large. Featuring period style sanitaryware it comprises a pedestal washbasin with chromed taps, a dual flush low suite wc, shower boarded enclosure with a glass door and thermostatic shower. Last but not least an acrylic roll-top bath with exposed clawed feet and a chromed mixer tap/hand-held shower. Towels warm on a chromed ladder radiator and there is a utility cupboard with space for both washing machine and dryer.
Outside - To the front a stone walled forecourt garden with a raised planting bed and a wrought iron gate. To the side an off-road car parking space with a wrought iron gate to the stone walled garden. The stone wall extends around the rear garden which is laid part to lawn with a York stone patio/footpath and in the corners a holly tree and a cherry tree. Approximately a hundred yards down the brow there is a sectional garage and hardstanding for two average sized cars.
We highly recommend an internal viewing of this excellent home.
Viewing - Strictly by appointment with Anderton Bosonnet - a member of The Guild of Property Professionals.
