Bowerhill Lane, Bowerhill, Melksham, SN12 6RA

VENDOR SUITED – Located in a quiet position at the end of a private road, this four-bedroom period home has been sympathetically renovated throughout by the current owners to create a substantial family home that is ready to move into.

Dating back to the mid-19th Century, there is an abundance of charm and character inside and out. As you enter the property you are greeted by a central hallway which gives access to the ground floor accommodation and staircase to the first floor. Overlooking the front and rear garden is the sitting room. Measuring 24’ 9” x 15’ 5” the sitting room provides ample accommodation for furniture and has a period red-brick fireplace with working wood burner which helps create cosy room during an evening and the winter months. Across the hallway is the formal dining room which in turn gives access to the kitchen at the rear of the property. The dining room oozes character with a second red-brick fireplace, built-in wine storage, and oak doors. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and enjoys views over the garden and fields beyond. With fully fitted Shaker style wall and base units, there are integrated appliances as well as space for a freestanding cooker. With more oak doors, tiled flooring and exposed red brick, the kitchen has a modern feel yet retains the original cottages period character. Accessible from the kitchen is the utility room which has further space for freestanding appliances as well as a downstairs WC.

Stairs to the first floor give access to all four bedrooms, comprising of three double rooms and one single, as well as the family bathroom. The master bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property to take advantage of the views and benefits from a modern ensuite shower room as well as a dressing area with built in wardrobes. Bedroom two and bedroom three are both large enough to accommodate double beds whilst bedroom four would make a fantastic children’s bedroom / nursery or home office. To complete the first floor, the family bathroom has been modernised to include a modern white suite with freestanding roll top bath with overhead shower.

Externally, the property enjoys ample off-street parking to the front as well as a large front garden which is mostly laid to lawn and is the perfect spot for children to play. The rear garden has been designed to require low maintenance and is mostly laid to patio to create space for al-fresco dining whilst enjoying views over farmland to the rear. Accessible from the garden, the current owners have converted the garage to create a large home office complete with power and lighting.

The popular and well-connected town of Melksham has a wide and numerous range of both independent and national shops, as well as various large supermarkets inclusive of a Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Tesco and Asda, further to the convenience stores nearby (including a Tesco Express and several popular coffee shops which can be found just a few streets distant of this house). Locals here also benefit from the use of a train station and an intricate public bus network which links the town with many other locations, and this property is also well-positioned for those needing access to the M4 corridor. There is a community hospital, post office, a wealth of sports clubs, and highly-sought after primary and secondary schooling options within an easy stretch of this property, as well as the excellent 'Forest & Sandridge Seedlings Pre-School' nearby. For those who prefer an active lifestyle there is an abundance of pleasant countryside walking routes situated close to the doorstep of this home, as well as sports fields on which to play and exercise.
