Historic High Melton home given new lease of life hits the market

Sensitive refurbishment has seen a long-neglected historic property on Hangman Stone Lane in High Melton restored to its former glory.

Now transformed into a modern family home by local developer Create Properties Ltd, the house has retained elements of its original build.

Rather than replacing original elements, Create Properties focused on restoring and reusing materials throughout the recently completed project.

One distinctive feature sees original roof tiles from the property carefully repurposed to form a unique patio area—creating a direct physical link between the home’s past and present.

Inside, the refurbishment balances traditional proportions with contemporary living.

A newly installed kitchen is at the heart of the home, while large bi-fold corner doors open the space to the garden, allowing natural light to flood in and strengthening the connection between indoors and out.

Original design cues and features were carefully considered to ensure the character of the property was not lost.

High Melton is known for its historic homes and rural setting, and projects such as this reflect a growing focus on preserving older buildings through thoughtful adaptation rather than wholesale redevelopment.

Ryan Malee, managing director of Create Properties Ltd, said: “From the outset, our aim was to bring this building back to life in a way that respects its history while making it genuinely practical for modern family living.

"We believe older properties deserve care and attention, and when restored properly, they can offer something truly special that new builds often can’t replicate.”

Evening summer sun lingers over the rear garden, making it the perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining.

By restoring the property rather than replacing it, Create Properties has helped to safeguard a small but important piece of High Melton’s architectural heritage, demonstrating that historic homes can be adapted for contemporary use without losing their identity or soul.

This home in Hangman Stone Lane, High Melton, Doncaster, is for sale at a price of £600,000, with Create Properties Ltd, Doncaster, tel. 07457411415, email [email protected]
