Redstocks, Melksham

A stylish and beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage, offering far more than first meets the eye. Tucked away along a quiet country lane, the property enjoys wonderful rural views to both the front and rear. Thoughtfully and creatively extended, this charming home combines character with modern living to delightful effect.

Internally a lobby opens through to a charming snug with a 'Jotul' stove. There is a fantastic open plan kitchen/breakfast/ family room with a mixture of oak and slate flooring and an other attractive feature fireplace with log burning stove. The well equipped kitchen has painted wooden cupboards combined with oak worktops and a breakfast bar, a 'Range' style cooker and space for a dishwasher. Two sets of French doors lead out to the garden. An impressive oak framed vaulted dining room set off the family room provides a wonderful space for eating and entertaining. There is also a utility area and downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor there is potential to convert the loft space (subject to building regs approval), two double bedrooms retain cast iron fireplaces and countryside views whilst the very spacious 22ft dual aspect master bedroom leads through to a beautiful en suite bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower, with tiled floor and wooden panelled walls. There is also an additional refitted shower room.

Outside, a generous driveway provides ample parking for numerous vehicles, complemented by an extra large detached double garage with an internal workshop. The beautifully established gardens offer a high degree of privacy and are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with fruit trees. A patio sun terrace and a charming vaulted oak summerhouse/studio create ideal spaces for relaxing and entertaining.
