Detached house for sale in Dial Close, Seend, Melksham SN12

'Lock House' is a most impressive property that combines a generous 4 bedroom modern family home with a splendid 33ft open fronted barn, an attached workshop and a charming outdoor home office/games room. Located in the picturesque and highly sought after village of Seend, the property has great potential to create an annex or separate dwelling (subject to planning) and could therefore work wonderfully well for multi generational living.

The house itself offers well presented comfortable living with a generous layout that includes 3 reception rooms (a 21ft sitting room, separate dining room and flexible study/snug), complemented by a delightful 22ft conservatory accessible via double doors from both the dining room and sitting room and French doors opening on to the garden. Set off the hall is a refitted cloakroom and a stylish updated kitchen with travertine tiled flooring, solid granite worktops and upstands and a range of quality integrated appliances (including a dishwasher, double oven 4 ring hob and a water softener). There is also a useful utility room off the kitchen with a fridge/freezer and washing machine. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms all with wardrobes/cupboards plus a modern family bathroom and en suite shower room to the principal bedroom.

Outside, the house really comes into its own with a wide driveway providing ample parking including a hard standing for a caravan. The double garage has electric doors, light and power and eaves storage. The attractive well maintained gardens are south facing and mainly laid to lawn but feature espalier conference pear trees, plum, apple and cherry trees, a vegetable patch with an adjacent newly roofed potting shed, a greenhouse and a lovely old dry stone wall. The open fronted cow byre has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, light and power and is a great area for al fresco eating/entertaining space and there is storage galore and lots of scope for alternative uses with the attached workshop.
