House For Sale £350,000
Location, location, location! This deceptively spacious 3 bedroom home is situated in Tamar road, Melksham with countryside walks literally on your doorstep, riverside walks into the town centre at the end of the road and local shops just around the corner. So much to offer and also so convenient !
The house itself also offers lots of options with generous and flexible accommodation which you can modernise and update to your tastes, if needed and extend (STPP) if required. On entering, you are greeted by a smaller porch which then opens up into wide and spacious entrance hall. So large, it could easily be utilised as a study area, or simply an amazing storage area for your shoes, coats and outdoor buggies etc. Off the hall is also a useful under stairs cupboard, and downstairs toilet All rooms are an excellent size and start with the long kitchen/breakfast room. Comprehensively fitted with white units, there is space for a table but also option to extend and create an even bigger kitchen/diner/family room. There is an additional rear lobby with cupboards and access to a wet room, which is fitted out with accessibility in mind. Also the perfect place to throw the dogs or kids into for a clean down after a muddy walk! There is a decent living room, with room enough for several sofas and has a central feature fireplace with inset gas fire. Set just off the living room is a lovely glass roofed conservatory which makes a lovely dining space or garden room. Imagine throwing open the door onto a screened decked outdoor sitting area in the summer and enjoying a chilled drink. A large double bedroom is accessible just off the hall area and offers a lovely bright, spacious room perfect for a double or king size bed and has wardrobes for storage. Alongside the stairs, the downstairs room doesn't feel too far from the bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom is fitted with a comprehensive range of wardrobes and drawer units so storage is not an issue at all. The 2nd bedroom upstairs is a generous single or small double with a modern built in wardrobe. The upstairs bathroom is a surprise as it has a separate shower cubicle in addition to a full bathroom suite. Two windows make this room lovely and light but also well ventilated. The property has the benefit of double glazing and a new gas boiler which has been recently fitted freeing up storage space in the "airing cupboard" upstairs.
Externally, the deceptive space continues. There is a wide double gated driveway with plenty of room for 2 cars, and a detached single garage. The garage has space to the side which could be extended into if required to create a double garage or even linked up to a side extension off the kitchen. A courtyard paved area gives access to the rear door and a further area behind the garage offers space for sheds and storage. An electric car charging port could be easily fitted if required. The garden then extends mostly to the side and the front, is laid to a healthy lawn with deep flower borders with a variety of plants and shrubs. The previous owners loved a chat and to watch the world go by over the walled boundary but if you wanted a more private space, some tall shrubs and a little fencing could easily provide this option. The decked area outside the conservatory is framed with trellis to give some privacy and also has a sun awning above which can be extended for extra shade on hot days.
Tamar road is situated on a quiet road of just 5 similar properties, and sits next door to arable fields with a public footpath, perfect for walking dogs. Also a short walk away is the River Avon and pathways which can take you into Melksham town centre via King George V park popping out behind Waitrose. Here you will find a splash pad for little ones and a large play park, complete with zip line and skate park. For those less energetic, sit in one of the benches just alongside the river and watch the swans or canoeists float by. Melksham is also great for cycle ways with access to the National trust village of Lacock and canal side walks close by. The town centre itself is a blossoming area with a range of essential shops, chemists and opticians, but also lovely independent butchers, bakeries and florists amongst the cafe's and restaurants. A recently built Community campus offers a state of the art gym, swimming pool and fitness classes but also houses the library.
Transport: Melksham is well-placed for a number of bus routes, including the X71,271,272 and 273 connecting the village to Bath. The X69 service will take you to Frome, and Marlborough can be reached by using the X76 service. At the bottom of Tamar Road is a stop for the 14 service, taking you directly to the local secondary school and supermarkets. Melksham Railway Station is a small station with regular direct routes to Swindon and Westbury, situated in just over 10 minutes’ walking distance. Commuting into London by train is easy - just hop on a train from here to Chippenham, and board another train to reach Paddington in 90 minutes. And for those all-important holiday plans, Bristol Airport is an hour’s drive away.
