Welcome to this delightful semi-detached home within the picturesque village of Melling, offering the perfect blend of rural living and comfort.
Step inside to a generous entrance hall that sets the tone for the warmth and character found throughout. The large living/dining room is a true highlight, featuring front aspect windows that flood the space with natural light, along with the wood-burning stove providing the focal point on cooler evenings, creating a cosy atmosphere for family gatherings or entertaining friends.
For those seeking versatility, a separate snug provides a second reception room or an ideal fourth bedroom as desired, complete with a window overlooking the garden. Follow into the kitchen which provides a practical space with scope for modernisation, equipped with wall and base units, tiled splashback and ample space for undercounter appliances. Integrated appliances also include a Leisure oven with five-ring hob and extractor over. The convenient cloakroom with a W.C. completes the ground floor amenities.
Ascending to the first floor, you'll find three generously sized double bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two boast front aspect windows and integrated wardrobes, maximising space and storage, whilst bedroom three offers views of the rear garden and ample room for additional furnishings. Finally, the family bathroom features a corner bath, W.C., pedestal sink, and steps leading to a shower, with part tiled walls and heated towel radiators completing the picture.
Externally, the property provides a driveway, workshop, and a rear garden designed for enjoyment. The patio area is perfect for outdoor seating, while the greenhouse caters to the green-fingered enthusiast. With scope for updating and adding personal touches, this home invites you to truly make it your own.
