Shurnhold, Melksham

Having been thoughtfully renovated throughout, this is a home where much of the hard work has already been done for you. The improvements extend well beyond the cosmetic, with substantial upgrades including the roof, chimney stack, plumbing, drainage, heating, electrics, windows, kitchen and bathroom. The result is a lovely home that feels fresh, comfortable and ready for its next owners to enjoy. Inside, there is an immediate sense of light and warmth. The living room provides a welcoming space to unwind, with an attractive fireplace adding a lovely focal point and a touch of character. To the rear, the well-designed kitchen is fitted with appliances and enjoys direct access through patio doors to the patio and garden beyond. Upstairs, the main bedroom is full of charm, featuring a beautiful bay window and original fireplace. The second bedroom offers a versatile space, equally suited to guests, a nursery or a home office. The bathroom is surprisingly generous for a cottage of this size and has been tastefully refitted, creating a fresh and timeless finish. The south-facing garden is another real attraction, offering a lovely outdoor space to enjoy throughout the year. Mature trees create an attractive backdrop, while there is plenty of room for gardening, entertaining or simply relaxing in the sunshine. The patio, conveniently positioned just outside the kitchen, is ideal for outdoor dining and making the most of warmer days. Adding further appeal are two garden outbuildings, including a particularly generous building positioned at the far end of the garden. Offering a variety of potential uses, from storage and hobbies to a workshop or home office, this is a valuable addition and a feature not often found with a cottage of this size. Being offered to the market with no onward chain, this delightful home brings together period charm and modern convenience.
