3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Shurnhold, Melksham SN12

Having been extensively renovated from top to bottom, this is a home where much of the hard work has already been taken care of. The improvements go far beyond the cosmetic, with significant works including the roof, chimney stack, plumbing, drainage, heating, electrics, windows, kitchen and bathroom, creating a home that feels fresh, welcoming and ready to enjoy. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by a lovely sense of light and calm. The living room is a wonderful space to relax, centred around an attractive fireplace that brings warmth and character. To the rear, the thoughtfully designed kitchen comes complete with appliances, while patio doors open directly onto the patio and garden beyond. Upstairs, the main bedroom is particularly charming, with its bay window and original fireplace, while the second bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, nursery or study. The bathroom is more spacious than you might expect in a cottage of this size and has been beautifully refitted with a fresh, timeless feel. Outside, the south-facing garden is a real highlight. Mature trees provide a lovely backdrop, and there is plenty of space to enjoy, whether gardening, entertaining friends or simply making the most of a sunny afternoon. The patio just outside the kitchen creates a natural setting for outdoor dining during the warmer months. The property also benefits from two garden outbuildings, including a particularly substantial building at the far end of the garden. Whether used for storage, hobbies, a workshop or home working, it offers a level of flexibility rarely found with a cottage of this size. Offered with no onward chain, this is a home that beautifully combines character and modern comfort, giving the next owners the opportunity to move straight in and enjoy it from day one.
