We're pleased to present this beautiful former Lakeland inn, once known as the Hark to Melody Inn (circa 1745), now thoughtfully reimagined as a characterful and welcoming home. Rich in heritage yet comfortably modern, the property blends original features with considered updates to create a space that feels both timeless and effortlessly liveable. Generous in feel and size, set against charming gardens with a woodland backdrop, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine substance and story.
Steeped in South Lakeland history, this stunning former public house - once known as the Hark to Melody Inn - has been thoughtfully transformed into a substantial and character-filled family home. Generous in scale and rich in charm, the property offers a wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home sits a striking central lounge, complete with log burner and dual open access into the kitchen–breakfast space, enhancing both flow and sociability. A cosy snug with multi-fuel log burner provides the perfect retreat, while a private and intimate dining room creates an ideal setting for entertaining. The naturally light kitchen provides a welcoming everyday entrance to the home, with breakfast bar seating and double doors opening directly onto the delightful country garden - a peaceful setting enjoying superb views towards ancient surrounding woodland. To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive master suite with a four-piece en-suite bathroom. A stylish shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. The second floor offers two further large and highly versatile rooms, currently utilised as light-filled office spaces but equally suited to additional bedrooms, hobby rooms or studio space. Externally, the home provides all important off-road parking and a well presented and private garden area complete with mature borders and stunning undisturbed outlooks. Melody House is a superb and distinctive home where history, warmth and space combine beautifully - internal viewing is essential to fully appreciate the atmosphere and flexibility on offer.
