Melling Manor showcases some of the finest aspects of Georgian architecture, often hailed as the golden age of house building. The manor features beautifully proportioned rooms, large multipaned windows, intricate decorative cornices and ceiling roses, high skirting boards, and charming fireplaces, all meticulously restored to blend traditional elegance with modern living.The accommodation is exceptional, offering six well-balanced bedrooms, four bathrooms, and three spacious reception rooms, each filled with light and beautifully presented. Outside, a sweeping double entrance gravel driveway provides ample parking, complemented by expansive garden space at both the front and rear of the property.The moment you step through the door, you are greeted by high ceilings adorned with traditional coving and crystal globe chandeliers. The original oak floor leads to two reception rooms and the dining kitchen. The generous entrance hall offers ample space for seating and storage, with a large cupboard under the stairs for coats and shoes. The main staircase ascends from the hall to the first floor.The kitchen-diner is a welcoming social space, featuring two large sash windows overlooking the rear garden and ample room for a large dining table. A feature gas fireplace adds a cozy touch. The large island unit provides additional workspace, seating for four, extra storage, and an integrated wine cooler.

We also feel that this room would lend itself perfectly in the  accommodation of a Cinema Room or a Gym perhaps? It really is a truly versatile and beautiful space. The magnificent ballroom-sized sitting room at the rear boasts two large sash windows with shutters and traditional features such as a ceiling rose, cornicing, and picture rail. The multi-fuel stove creates a cozy atmosphere for winter nights.Adjacent to the sitting room, the snug living room is tastefully decorated in traditional Georgian Blue, with high ceilings, detailed coving, a Georgian marble fireplace, and a large sash window overlooking the garden. This space is perfect for relaxing, reading, or listening to music.An inner hall from the snug leads to a utility room fitted with base units, Corian worktop, stainless steel sink, marble tiled floor, heated ladder towel radiator, and space for a washing machine and dryer. A handy cupboard houses the boiler. Adjacent is a downstairs W.C. with a vanity sink unit, heated ladder towel radiator, and complementary tiles.The attractive staircase guides you to the first-floor landing, accessing six double bedrooms and the family bathroom, all featuring traditional ceiling coving. The master suite is a showstopper, with a light and bright king-sized room, dual aspect sash windows, and an attractive feature fireplace. A walk-in dressing room offers additional wardrobe space, while the three-piece master en suite includes a walk-in shower with waterfall showerhead, W.C., vanity sink, and heated ladder towel radiator.The family bathroom showcases Fired Earth fittings and chrome-ware, including a wash basin, freestanding bath, W.C., large walk-in shower with glass screen, and Italian marble floor and splashback for a luxurious feel. Original exposed timber shutters add a finishing touch.Bedroom two is another attractive double room with a rear aspect sash window and ample space for furniture. The en suite features a walk-in shower, vanity sink, W.C., and complementary tiles.Bedrooms three, four, and five are also spacious double rooms with traditional coving and sash windows. Bedroom five includes integrated wardrobe space, and bedroom six serves as an excellent office for those working from home.Adding to the sense of grandeur is the main approach: a sweeping horseshoe gravel driveway with ample parking space. There are opportunities to extend the driveway to provide access to a proposed three-bay oak garage at the rear of the property, along with the construction of a patio and seating area at the front. A Heritage statement and detailed plans for these proposals are available upon request. The garden features expansive lawns on three sides, set against a backdrop of open countryside with established trees and shrub borders, providing privacy and screening around the property boundaries.
