Property description

If you’re looking for the conveniences and community of a town centre, but also want panoramic views of the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, this 2/3 bedroom chalet home in Tamar Road is the property for you. With a large, private back garden, a garage and workshop ripe for conversion as an annex or office workspace, and also a public footpath through miles of fields quite literally on your doorstep, what more could you ask for?

Entering the property, you’ll find yourself in a light and bright hallway area, with a large under stairs cupboard for additional storage. To the left is the dining room, which could be used in multiple ways. It could be put to use as a snug area, a downstairs study, a playroom for younger family members, or even a third double bedroom if required. Back through the hallway is the kitchen. The kitchen has lots of room for storage within modern shaker units, as well as plumbing-in space for a dishwasher and washing machine. There’s an integrated double oven with electric four-ring hob, as well as space for a fridge/freezer and a stainless steel sink with mixer tap. The kitchen window overlooks both the rear garden and miles of countryside beyond – views you’ll never get bored of while making dinner!

The living room is situated towards the back of the ground floor, and capitalises on the incredible views of the surrounding countryside. With sliding patio doors to the right leading out onto the rear garden, plus dual aspect windows to the back wall and a fourth window overlooking the front garden, no matter where you’re standing in this room, you’re greeted with a fabulous view of rolling green fields. The space itself is big enough to be used as a large living room, or even as a combined lounge/dining space. Such a fabulous room!

Upstairs, the landing area features a large airing cupboard, making the most of extra space to store bed linen and towels. To the left, the master bedroom is a great-sized double, with the added bonus of full-width, built-in wardrobes for clothing. There’s enough space for a double bed, and extra room within a recess for bedside tables, a TV unit or chest of drawers, if needed. The master overlooks the front of the property, and views from the window are far-reaching across the open fields – the perfect view to wake up to every morning.

The second bedroom, set towards the back of the property, has the added benefit of eaves storage plus enough room for freestanding wardrobes. Again, the views from the window across the open fields behind the home are spectacular. Next to the second bedroom is the fully-tiled family bathroom, which includes a WC, vanity unit with wash basin, and bathtub with overhead mixer shower.

The property has excellent large gardens both to the front and rear. The living room leads directly onto the rear garden’s patio area with feature paving and storage shed. There’s also fantastic potential for conversion outdoors, within the spacious, detached garage. The garage has been extended to the side, and currently functions as a utility space with worktops and appliances. A double-glazed window offers those beautiful views of the country again, so if you wanted to convert this space into a study, you could look out towards it whilst you work. The extension leads into a larger-than-average single garage, which benefits from additional generous roof space with lighting and insulation, and double-skinned walls. Not only does the garage provide secure parking for your vehicle and extra storage, but it could also be converted into an excellent annexe for extended family and guests if planning permission was sought.

About the area

Things to do and amenities: Melksham is a bustling little market town on the banks of the Bristol Avon, filled with community spirit. 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. But when you don’t fancy cooking, there are takeaways, a McDonald’s and a Domino’s Pizza, all just a few minutes from your door. There’s a jam-packed social calendar year-round in the town, from festivals during the summer months to the fantastic Christmas Fayre and Lights Switch-on. 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 to ducks and walk along the river.

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.

Schools: For younger children, River Mead School and Aloeric Primary School, both rated Good by Ofsted, are both around five minutes away from Tamar Road by car, as well as The Manor C of E vc Primary School.

For secondary pupils, the property is within the catchment area for Melksham Oak Community School, which is just under 10 minutes away by car, or can be reached directly on the 14 public bus service.
