From the moment you step inside, the character of the original property is immediately apparent.

Original coving, traditional tiled flooring and feature fireplaces are just some of the period details that have been carefully retained, while the wider house has been modernised to a wonderfully tasteful standard.

The ground floor begins with two generous reception rooms, providing the proportions and versatility you would expect from a substantial traditional home.

The front reception offers a more formal, cosy living space, while towards the rear the second reception has been opened into a substantial kitchen extension, transforming the back of the property into a fantastic open-plan living, dining and entertaining area.

This is undoubtedly the heart of the home.

The kitchen itself has been finished to an excellent contemporary standard and features a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, providing all the practicality required for modern family life while sitting comfortably alongside the property's more traditional features.

Large bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a brilliant connection between the kitchen and outside space and allowing the entire rear of the property to work particularly well when entertaining.

The first floor provides three generous double bedrooms, giving families plenty of flexibility for children's rooms, guests or home-working space.

A beautifully finished family bathroom serves this floor, continuing the tasteful modernisation found throughout the rest of the house.

The second floor is where the property reveals another major feature. A substantial dormer conversion creates an impressive principal bedroom suite, giving the owners an entire floor of their own.

The large double bedroom is complemented by a dedicated dressing room and private en-suite, creating a superb retreat away from the main family accommodation.

Outside, the traditional character continues with a beautiful garden-fronted approach, providing an attractive first impression and setting the property back from Church Lane.

To the rear is a fully decked garden, creating a low-maintenance outside space ideal for seating, outdoor dining and entertaining – particularly when combined with the bi-fold doors from the kitchen extension.

What makes this home particularly appealing is the balance it achieves.

The original fireplaces, tiled floors and coving provide the character, while the extended open-plan kitchen, integrated appliances, modern bathrooms and impressive top-floor suite deliver everything expected from a contemporary family home.

With four double bedrooms, two substantial reception rooms, a large kitchen extension and an entire principal suite occupying the second floor, Church Lane offers far more accommodation than you might initially expect from a traditional terrace.

Full of personality, beautifully modernised and offering fantastic space across three floors, this is a superb family home in a sought-after Mellor setting.

Combine this with the extended open-plan kitchen, bi-fold doors, four double bedrooms and superb top-floor principal suite with dressing room and en-suite, and the result is an exceptionally spacious and individual family home spread across three impressive floors.
