House For Sale £290,000
Deceptively spacious and set over three floors with an integral garage, private back garden and huge amounts of storage space, this property at Bowmans Court is the perfect home for a modern day, busy family.
Ground Floor
Entering the property, you’ll find yourself in a lovely light, bright hallway area, with a door leading to an understairs cloakroom with WC and wash basin. To the left, another door leads into the integral garage, providing secure off-road parking for your vehicle. Depending on your requirements, you could also convert this space into an office or additional reception room, or use it for storage to keep all those extra toys tucked away!
The majority of the ground floor is occupied by a wonderful open-plan kitchen and dining room space, with direct access through a sliding door into the back garden. The kitchen includes lots of floor space for easy movement whilst cooking, as well as multiple cupboards and units for food storage. There’s an integrated oven with a four-ring gas hob, space for a fridge freezer and washing machine, and plenty of worktop space for a microwave and smaller appliances. Views from the kitchen extend out onto the garden through a large triple-paned window, throwing loads of light into the room.
The dining room flows seamlessly from the kitchen into an open space suited perfectly to family dinners or entertaining friends. There’s more than enough room for a six-seater dining table in here, and the ability to bring the outdoors in through the sliding patio door makes it a great space to enjoy in the warmer months.
First floor
Upstairs, you will find the property’s main living space and first double bedroom. The living room spans the entire width of the property, and could even be split into separate areas for entertaining, relaxing or working from home. Double aspect windows flood the room with natural light throughout the day, and double radiators keep the space cosy and warm as the colder weather draws in. If you need a home office, a play area for children or even an additional entertainment space, the room is certainly big enough to split into separate areas to use however fits your family best.
The first of this home’s double bedrooms is also found on the first floor. The bedroom faces out towards the front of the property, and is currently being used as a home working space with seating and exercise area. This room is perfect for flexible living, as it could be used as a bedroom, guest room, home office, play area or even a walk-in wardrobe - the possibilities are endless!
Second floor
The family bathroom, second double bedroom and master bedroom with en-suite are all found on the second floor of the property.
The fully-tiled family bathroom features an alcove bathtub with overhead electric shower, WC and wash basin, with a velux window to brighten the space.
The second double bedroom is found next to the bathroom, tucked away towards the back of this home. This bedroom would be perfectly suited to an older child who wants their own private retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the living space, or for little ones who need to be close to mum or dad. The final bedroom is a fantastic master with its own en-suite bathroom. An essential for every parent - a bathroom you don’t need to share with the kids! The master comes with its own storage space for clothing, and a separate storage space can also be found on the landing.
Outdoors
The property has a small landscaped garden area to the front, with a lovely quiet patio area and lawn to the back. The dining room leads directly onto the rear garden’s patio area with lots of space for outdoor seating, plus the additional lawn area and gravel ensures there isn’t much maintenance required. Surrounding the lawn, there is a variety of mature shrubs and plants - including a large butterfly bush, which is sure to attract many colourful visitors in summer! The garden isn’t at all overlooked, so the children can play in privacy as you sit in the sun with a glass of wine after work.
About the area
Things to do and amenities: A short 15-minute walk from Bowmans Court is Melksham town centre, with its array of shops, excellent independent eateries, swimming pool and gym. You’ll find supermarkets including Asda, Aldi, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s just down the road from the property, making light work of the weekly food shop. There are also lots of things to do to keep the younger family members occupied, from the Boomerang Soft Play Centre to King George V outdoor playground, where you can feed the ducks and walk along the river. Relaxing countryside and riverside strolls are right on your doorstep, along with a variety of lovely villages with country pubs and scenic driving routes on the outskirts of the town. A particular favourite of ours is Lacock, a gorgeous National Trust village where a variety of TV series - and Harry Potter scenes - have been filmed in past years. With a garden centre, cosy tearooms and nature walks, it’s a fantastic day out.
Transport: Melksham is well-placed for multiple bus routes, including the X71,271,272 and 273 connecting the village to Bath.

The Manor School is also just over 10 minutes away on foot, so there are plenty of education options in the area for primary-aged children.
