Location

Slyne is a sought-after village that sits just north of Lancaster, prized for its open countryside views and peaceful residential setting. Offering quick access to the Bay Gateway and M6, it is ideal for those commuting to Lancaster, Morecambe or further afield. The village itself is well served with a local pub, nearby schools, and excellent walks, with countryside stretching out in every direction. Melldore enjoys an elevated plot with far-reaching rural vistas, all while being just a short drive from Lancaster city centre.

Property Details

Melldore is a large, double-fronted detached property with four bedrooms, generous reception space and a substantial garden plot. Though the home requires modernisation, it offers an exciting opportunity for buyers to restore or reconfigure to suit their needs. The ground floor includes a wide, welcoming hallway that leads into an open-plan lounge diner—ideal for entertaining—with dual bay windows framing the front garden. Two further reception rooms provide flexibility for a home office, snug or formal dining room.

The kitchen is located to the rear and was fitted around seven years ago with a modern range of units, tiled flooring, and space for a dining table. It also houses a wood-burning stove. A utility/porch area leads out to the garden. The ground floor benefits from an open fire in the main living space, while the property is fully double glazed.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms in total—three spacious doubles and a fourth smaller single that could serve as a home office. The bathroom and WC are separate. The layout offers excellent scope for redesigning to suit modern living.

Externally, the house occupies a wide garden plot with driveway parking for several vehicles and a detached double garage/workshop. The gardens wrap around the house, with a sunken patio area to the side. The rear and side elevations enjoy open green views, contributing to the home’s sense of space and privacy.

This property is freehold.
