Description

Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, this two-bedroom bungalow presents an excellent opportunity for renovation. Set on a spacious plot, the property features a private rear garden and convenient driveway parking that leads to a garage. Although it requires general modernisation, the potential for enhancement is significant, making it an appealing prospect for investors or those looking to create their ideal home. Upon entering, you are greeted by a hallway featuring ample space for shoes and coats, along with a practical airing cupboard. The dual-aspect lounge-diner benefits from abundant natural light, providing generous room for furnishings and various layouts. The kitchen includes built-in units and work surfaces, with an additional door leading to the side of the property. Both bedrooms are sizeable doubles equipped with built-in wardrobes; notably, bedroom one boasts French doors that open directly onto the garden. The bathroom is fitted with essential amenities including a bath with shower over, WC, and wash basin. The front of the property offers a lawn area complemented by substantial driveway parking that accesses the garage. To the rear, the garden is nestled in privacy; it blends both lawn and patio space alongside established plants and shrubs—ideal for outdoor revitalisation or expansion. Melksham ranks as Wiltshire's fourth largest town and is surrounded by scenic countryside and charming villages. The area boasts conveniences such as a Waitrose supermarket and easy access to transport links via the railway station. Nearby Lacock is home to several National Trust properties, including Lacock Abbey, known for its cinematic history in the Harry Potter films.
