Description

Underhill is a charming semi-detached barn conversion set back from the main road in the popular village of Melling. Accessed via a shared entrance, a driveway provides off road parking with access to the garage, the property is within easy reach of village amenities and surrounding countryside. With characterful features throughout, including exposed beams and vaulted ceilings, the home offers a warm and traditional feel with excellent scope for a new owner to add their own personal touches.

Melling is a picturesque and well-regarded village, known for its welcoming community, historic character and beautiful rural surroundings. Situated within the Lune Valley, the village offers a charming blend of countryside living with convenient links to nearby market towns and transport routes, making it an attractive location for families and those seeking a quieter lifestyle while remaining well connected.

To the front of the property is a lawn garden, a wonderful morning sun trap with space for outdoor seating. A gate opens into the main garden, enclosed for privacy and laid to lawn with additional seating areas and provides access to the garage.

The front door opens into the hallway, where there is access to the main living areas and stairs to the first floor. To the right is the living room, featuring front aspect windows and ample space for comfortable seating. The room offers a cosy atmosphere while allowing scope for adding personal touches. To the left of the hallway is the dining room, which provides space for a dining table and enjoys a pleasant outlook over the garden.

At the end of the hallway is the kitchen, fitted with modern wall and base units, complementary worktops and upstands, and a 1½ Franke sink. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, AGA, Neff microwave and wine cooler. A charming stable door with a feature beam above opens directly into the garden. The hallway also benefits from a useful understairs cupboard, ideal for coats and shoes.

The first floor landing leads to two bedrooms and the main bathroom. Bedroom three is a double room with a window overlooking the garden and integrated wardrobes. The bathroom is generously sized and includes an airing cupboard, bath, W.C. and sink, with scope for updating to suit personal tastes.

The main bedroom is full of character, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, space for a double bed and dual aspect windows that fill the room with natural light. The en-suite is modern in design and comprises a vanity sink, W.C. and a walk-in shower with waterfall shower head and handheld attachment.

Stairs rise to the second floor, where there are two further bedrooms. Bedroom two is a generous double room with a large window, while bedroom four is a single room that could also serve as a nursery, study or hobby space.

With feature beams running throughout the property and a cosy, traditional feel, Underhill offers a wonderful opportunity to create a characterful family home in a desirable village setting.
