Property description

Melrose: not just a home, but a lifestyle
That’s precisely what you get with Melrose, an IMMACULATE 4-bedroomed home which was built in Morley in 1953. The current owners have completely transformed and EXTENDED this lovely home since they bought it in 1991. It has been completed with creativity and attention to detail are clearly visible both indoors and out.
CONVENIENCE and TECHNOLOGY have been skilfully integrated throughout the entire house and garden, creating a living space which is sophisticated, safe, peaceful and easy to live in. And perfect for entertaining in. 
The most enticing FEATURES include an ENORMOUS SUN ROOM, expansive split-level exterior decking, solid hardwood floors, clever lighting, background music systems, and a state-of-the-art security system. 
Melrose will be very easy to move into: absolutely nothing needs doing apart from popping a champagne cork. To make things even easier, the owners are emigrating and will consider offers for their furniture, furnishing and appliances.
And as if all that weren’t enough, there are still 21 years to run on the solar energy deal, which sells power back to the National Grid. The new owners are guaranteed an income of approx £2,000 a year (indexed linked), which covers the cost of the gas and electricity needed in the house – so your energy is EFFECTIVELY FREE for the next 21 years, saving you approximately £42,000 (indexed linked). UPVC double-glazing throughout and an insulated roof space also help to conserve your energy. 


GROUND FLOOR

Entrance Hall
Enter Melrose through the solid hardwood front door and you'll come into the home's spacious hallway, with solid oak floors leading left and right into the reception rooms and straight ahead into the study.

Living Room - 15' 9'' x 12' 2'' (4.8m x 3.7m)
This cosy room features an inset remote-controlled gas fire, concealed LED mood lighting and colour-change lights to each side of the fireplace. It's perfect for snuggling up to watch your favourite shows, with the intelligent Yamaha soundbar delivering home-cinema quality sound from a single speaker under the TV. Double uPVC doors lead into the sun room.

Dining Hall/Sitting Room - 12' 6'' x 14' 1'' (3.8m x 4.28m)
This spacious and airy reception room has solid oak floors. There's a background sound system (with a Dab FM radio plus an auxiliary connection for your MP3 player) with speakers set into the ceiling and kitchen, as well as tiny LED lights twinkling around every side of the drop-down ceiling. An up-lit multi-fuel stove sits in an open pass between this room and the kitchen which, when lit, helps to warm the entire house.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room - 16' 5'' x 15' 8'' (5m x 4.78m)
Overlooking the substantial gardens to the rear, the kitchen has been fitted with German cabinets and De Dietrich appliances including an induction hob, pyrolytic (self-cleaning) double oven and double refrigerator/freezer with ice-maker. The floor is hard-wearing Karndean luxury vinyl. Feature lighting has been installed, over the window, under cabinets and in the glass-fronted cabinetry. For winter warmth, there's a feature radiator and the benefit of the multi-fuel stove shared with the dining hall/sitting room.

Sun Room - 23' 7'' x 17' 0'' (7.2m x 5.18m) Max measurments
There are endless possibilities for relaxing and entertaining in this huge and sunny space. Luxury Sanderson steel-wired blinds help to control the light and temperature, but there are also 2 feature radiators and a reverse-cycle air-con unit. The 28mm uPVC double-glazing is bronze-tinted for UV protection, and the floors and detailing are solid oak. The bespoke copper-and-oak-fronted bar has a Corian counter and built-in refrigerator, with colour-change lighting at the base and counter levels. The background sound system is linked to 2 monitors and your MP3 players, and transmits sound out to the gazebo area in the garden.

Lobby/Utility Room and Cloakroom
With plenty of room for getting important things done out of the way of the rest of the house, this utility room features a ceramic-tiled floor, a column radiator and a ceramic Belfast sink. With a pretty downstairs cloakroom and drying room.

Study
This study area makes the most of its space thanks to fitted furniture. The floor is solid oak and there is a window into the conservatory.

FIRST FLOOR

Bedroom 1 - 15' 9'' x 12' 2'' (4.8m x 3.7m)
The large master bedroom is flooded with light, since it overlooks both the front and rear of the house. There's all the storage space you could possibly need behind mellow antique-pine doors, and there are lights above and to the side of the bed. A snug window-seat is the perfect place to curl up with a book and a steaming hot cuppa as you gaze over the rear garden.

Bedroom 2 - 12' 6'' x 14' 1'' (3.8m x 4.3m)
This double bedroom has an engineered oak floor and a large window overlooking the front of the house. With spacious free-standing wardrobes.

Family Bathroom - 8' 10'' x 5' 7'' (2.7m x 1.7m)
Luxurious and immaculately neat and clean, this is the ultimate place to relax and soak your cares away. Simply start the bubbles in the Jacuzzi bath, switch on the colour-change mood lights, and let the background music system (with its inset ceiling speakers) carry you away. The floor and walls are tiled in Travertine, and all of the furnishings are solid oak. The bath has a pull-out shower hose.

Shower Room
Get the day off to the best possible start with a shower in this beautifully fitted shower-room. The shower is set into the wall of the large stall. Finished with porcelain and slate tiles for an attractive contrast. There's a large chrome radiator/towel rail, a heated mirror with integral lighting, and LED lighting above.

Bedroom 3 - 9' 2'' x 9' 9'' (2.8m x 2.98m)
Bigger than most third bedrooms, this space is light and bright with 2 windows. A space-saving staircase leads to the guest bedroom/sitting room on the second floor.

Bedroom 4 - 9' 1'' x 6' 7'' (2.76m x 2m)
This single bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe.

SECOND FLOOR

Guest Bedroom/Sitting Room - 9' 7'' x 20' 4'' (2.93m x 6.2m)
The perfect annexe for an office, for student living or for a lodger, this spacious loft conversion runs the full length of the house and therefore has plenty of room for a sitting room as well as a double sleeping area. A large Velux window admits loads of light (or great views of the stars), and there is extensive under-eaves storage accessible via two cupboard doors. A doorway leads to a boarded-out storage area in the L-shape of the house, where the solar-panel controls can also be found.

EXTERIOR

To the front
Electronic gates with a video-entry system lead onto a feature-brick driveway offering substantial parking for multiple vehicles - even for a caravan or boat. A total of 7 LED floodlights can be triggered by movement or switched on manually. The driveway is surrounded by mature shrubbery, and the house can be accessed at the front or side through solid oak doors.

Rear Garden
No expense or effort has been spared in creating a fabulous outdoor living space at Melrose. Split-level decking and patio areas surround a lush expanse of lawn and shrubbery, all enhanced with a stainless-steel lit water feature and a tiled barbecue area. The recently constructed under lit cedar-shingled gazebo offers an extensive seating area around a raised gas-fired coal pit and benefits from the background sound system. There is substantial storage plus a log store along the feature lit rear wall. The decking has uplighters all around.

Garage and Shed
The grounds also include a steel garden shed and a 4.5m-wide double garage with a Silvelox electronic door.
