Located in the established Bowerhill area of Melksham, the property has been lovingly cared for and is ready to move into, while also allowing for gradual updates to reflect your personal style. The entrance porch provides a practical space for shoes and coats before leading into a spacious living room, which features a large front window that floods the area with natural light. The room is anchored by a charming gas fire with a stone and brick-effect surround, adding warmth and character. A staircase rises from this inviting space, with convenient storage tucked beneath. Flowing seamlessly from the living room is the open kitchen and dining area, designed for sociability and family gatherings. The kitchen offers ample cupboard and worktop space, along with provisions for a washing machine, dishwasher, integrated oven, and hob.

This bright space, with glazing on three sides and direct access to the garden, can serve various purposes—be it a quiet sitting room, children's play area, or a peaceful spot for morning coffee. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms alongside the family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are comfortable doubles, while the third serves as a versatile single that could easily be adapted into a nursery, dressing room, or home office. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite that includes a bath with shower over, wash basin, and WC, complemented by a heated towel rail. The well-maintained rear garden offers a balanced mix of lawn and paved areas, perfect for outdoor seating and play. While it requires little immediate attention, there is still ample opportunity for gardening enthusiasts to make their mark. The garden also provides direct access to a garage equipped with electricity, currently utilized as a workshop—ideal for DIY projects or secure storage. Parking is another advantage of this property, featuring both a garage and driveway, along with additional on-street parking options nearby. This home is perfect for those who wish to enjoy a comfortable living space from day one while having the flexibility to update individual rooms over time. Families will appreciate the proximity to Bowerhill Primary School and Melksham Oak Community School.
