Farmhouse Court, Melksham

Tucked away, where you wouldn't expect to find it, in an exclusive development of just five homes, is this exceptional and spacious barn conversion style four-bedroom property enjoys gardens of just under 0.25 acre.. In fact a lot about this home is a surprise, and is worth viewing to fully appreciate everything on offer. 

Upon entering through the characterful frontage, you are greeted by a spacious hallway where there is plenty of room for shoe and coat storage, a useful downstairs WC and a good sized study to one side.  Every room feels spacious and light with a large dining room, and a generous 20ft sitting room both with French doors opening onto the rear garden. Both rooms offer a different aspect out onto the wrap around gardens and are generous enough for large sofa seating and family dining. The dining room connects to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room which also provides an additional access point to the garden. This well designed room has a range of Shaker style units, with a wood worktop, freestanding Stoves oven with bespoke glass splashback and is beautifully finished with stone flooring. There are spaces for the washing machine, fridge/freezer and the all important dishwasher. A useful bonus is a rear door, also opening out onto the extensive garden. Perfect for those days when muddy kids and dogs are running in and out. The downstairs flow inside and out makes a great space for a family and entertaining friends. A lovely sized study is located at the front of the property with a sunny spot overlooking the front garden.

Upstairs, the expansive galleried landing offers plenty of space and light and access through to the 4 bedrooms. The main bedroom is an excellent size with an ensuite and plenty of room for freestanding storage. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are also good sized doubles with built in storage to bedroom 2. Bedroom 4 is a generous single and also makes the perfect cot room, additional study or hobby room. The family bathroom and additional storage complete the first floor. 

The garden is a real feature of this family home being unusually large and mature. Originally an orchard, there are some fine fruit trees, along with other specimen trees and mature shrubs.. Surrounded by a listed high Victorian wall, this garden offers complete privacy providing the perfect place to relax, for children to explore and is a gardeners dream! A wildlife pond is tucked away to one side, and you'll be spoilt for choice if you would like to create vegetable beds.  The majority of the space is lawn but there are two good sized patios so you can follow the sun as it works its way around the property through the day. Linking the rear garden areas to the front, there is a large store room with electricity and lighting and plenty of space for a tumble dryer and additional storage. At the front of the property, there is an area of front lawn fringed with flower beds and a pathway. There is a positively cavernous DOUBLE GARAGE and driveway parking for SIX CARS!  

The location of this secret small development, is just off Snowberry Lane, via Saxifrage Bank. You simply wouldn't know it was there! Being in such a convenient location, local shops, countryside walks, sports facilities and the Spa medical centre are all within walking distance for most. There is even a local nature reserve close by, while the picturesque town centre of Melksham is just a mile away. Melksham offers a wide range of independent shops and supermarkets from Aldi to Waitrose! Conveniently situated on the Calne/Devizes side of town, the location provides quick access to Bath and Chippenham via the A350. Melksham’s railway station offers connections to London and the coast.   Regular bus services run from bus stops just a short stroll from the property along Snowberry Lane. The local secondary school is within walking distance and a variety of primary schools are on offer. The Georgian city of Bath is easily accessed and a trip to Devizes' weekly farmers market is highly recommended.
