Shurnhold, Melksham

Having been owned by the same family for many years we are delighted to bring to the market this Stone-built Period 3 Bedroom Cottage located on the edge of Melksham close to the villages of Shaw and Whitley with far-reaching views to the front across open countryside. The cottage will need some updating throughout but for those with a bit of vision wanting an individual home with both history and character, we feel this could be an ideal choice. The living accommodation comprises of a small entrance porch that leads into a large sitting room with a central feature fireplace having a dual fuel wood and coal burning stove fitted with stairs rising to the first floor along with a door to the kitchen along with the rear lobby. The kitchen is fitted with cupboard and base matching units and has a window overlooking the rear garden along with a door into the separate dining room. The dining room has windows to both the front and side. To the rear of the house is a storage room plus and downstairs shower room that could be altered subject to planning to something more like a larger utility room with a cloakroom. Moving upstairs are three good size double bedrooms and the family bathroom. Outside there is a single detached garage located to the side of the house with a block paved driveway along with ample parking laid to gravel with the rest laid to lawn. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with side access. The property is being brought to the market with No Onward Chain.
