Casa Indipendente Con 5 Camere Da Letto In Vendita A Mellor

Built in 1820 as an Orangery to Woodfold Hall for renowned cotton magnate and industrialist Henry Sudell, this remarkable home occupies a private, gated plot extending to over two acres within one of the region’s most prestigious country estates.

Few homes offer such architectural distinction. Designed by James Wyatt, the property is defined by its elegant stone elevations, soaring ceilings, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, all enhanced with electric blinds. At its heart lies a beautifully executed curved design, creating a seamless sense of flow and an abundance of natural light that moves effortlessly through the space, lending both grandeur and warmth in equal measure.

The ground floor, complete with underfloor heating, opens via a vestibule into a striking curved reception hall, where a travertine tiled floor and sweeping staircase immediately set the tone. The principal living room is both impressive and inviting, centred around a gas fire and framed by two magnificent full-height windows alongside French doors that open directly onto the gardens beyond. A separate sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, while a versatile study or games room sits quietly to one side of the home.

To the opposite end, the dining kitchen is both generous and beautifully appointed, featuring a SieMatic range of units, integrated appliances including induction hob, oven, microwave, wine cooler, and stone work surfaces. Bathed in natural light from three elevations, this is a space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, with a continuation of the travertine flooring enhancing cohesion throughout.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently arranged as an additional snug. The principal suite is particularly impressive, complete with bespoke fitted furniture, a dedicated dressing room, and a luxurious en-suite featuring a walk-in seated steam room. The family bathroom is equally indulgent, offering a Jacuzzi bath and separate multi-jet shower. A practical utility room is also located on this level, while a spiral staircase rises to a superb second-floor space, ideal as a teenage retreat, studio, or expansive home office with additional storage.

Yet it is outside where this home truly comes into its own.

The gardens are nothing short of enchanting, offering a mature landscape that wraps gracefully around the property, creating a sense of seclusion and timeless beauty. Expanses of manicured lawn are interwoven with winding stone pathways and terraces, inviting exploration at every turn. Deeply planted borders brim with established trees, shrubs, and seasonal colour, while pockets of woodland lend a natural, almost parkland quality to the setting.

A magnificent monkey puzzle tree, believed to be among the oldest of its kind in the country, stands proudly within the grounds and is a rare and sculptural focal point that frames views from the principal reception spaces and anchors the landscape with quiet grandeur. Nearby, a large pond provides a tranquil focal point, perfect for moments of reflection or simply enjoying the stillness of the surroundings.

A sweeping approach leads through gates onto a resin driveway, offering ample parking and access to a substantial garage with electric door.

This is, without question, one of the area’s most iconic homes, a property of architectural significance, refined living, and exceptional natural beauty. Early viewing is essential, with proof of funding required.
