FREEHOLD
For the first time in forty years, this unique and substantial 5-bedroom detached property, measuring 3,500 sq ft, is on the market. Located on the Cheshire/Derbyshire border, in the picturesque village of Mellor, this property offers stunning countryside views. It is ideal for professionals, multi-generational families, or investors seeking a countryside retreat near the Derbyshire Dales.
Set across two plots and surrounded by a stone wall frontage, the property has ample off-road parking for five cars. This custom-built house, originally constructed in the 1970s for renowned music journalist Trevor Reynolds, has been a cherished family home for four generations.
Significant renovations over the past decade include a new roof completed in Summer 2022. The six main areas of the house have freshly plastered ceilings ready for painting. A new dark wood kitchen, with a utility area and breakfast bar. The hallway, leading from the main reception room to the open-plan kitchen and dining area, has also been newly tiled.
The ground floor features two bedrooms. One, currently used as a study, can easily accommodate a double bed and is illuminated by a skylight. The other, accessed through an oval door, is another large bedroom. These rooms, along with a full downstairs bathroom, make the ground floor ideal for multi-generational living or as flexible spaces for an office or cinema room for working professionals.
Upstairs, a vaulted hallway with high ceilings and natural light leads to three more large double bedrooms with access to a second full-size bathroom. Off the ground floor utility room is an enclosed and partially covered outdoor space, leading to a storage shed and underground drive storage, currently used as a small summer courtyard.
The front of the property features two gardens separated by a flagstone path. Each garden is laid with pink gravel and sand-stoned borders with seasonal plants. A half-covered area in front of the living room, used for alfresco dining

An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
