Orchard House occupies a plot of around 1.2 acres and strikes the perfect balance of rural living and urban convenience. Stunning countryside surrounds the house which features 3/4 bedrooms, an impressive kitchen-diner and double garage with studio above.

The striking double bay fronted facade has a central door into the entrance hall where you find stairs to the first floor as well as doors to the living room, ground floor bedroom and under stairs cupboard. The dual aspect living room enjoys a bay window to the front and a lovely wood burning stove. To the rear of the house you find a spacious utility room which leads to the downstairs shower room and the superb kitchen-diner. Creating a wonderful heart of the home, the kitchen-diner has lots of fitted units, 5 ring hob and a breakfast bar as well as plenty of space for a table and chairs. French doors lead onto the patio. The ground floor bedroom also features a bay window to the front and could equally be utilised as a home office, play room or second living room.

Heading upstairs, the landing has doors to the remaining three bedrooms and the bathroom. With the position of the stairs and the pitch of the roof, a buyer may wish to explore the option of converting the roof space (subject to necessary permissions). Bedroom one is a fantastic size and features a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. There is a window overlooking the neighbouring field as well as doors to the balcony which overlooks the impressive garden. Bedrooms two and three are also wonderful sizes with dual aspect windows and built in wardrobes to bedroom two. Completing the internal accommodation is the bathroom which features a centre tap bath with shower over, WC and vanity basin.

The gated driveway provides heaps of parking and leads to the double garage. An internal partition within the garage has created a useful space for a gym or workshop whilst above the garage you find a studio space which could be adapted for office space.

The substantial plot includes an attractive front garden, orchard area and a vast expanse of lawn to the rear. A total plot of around 1.2 acres provides a huge opportunity for those who love the outdoors. Within the garden you find two dilapidated outbuildings which a buyer may wish to restore or remove.

As with many rural properties, the property is on oil central heating and features a private waste treatment plant, both of which have been upgraded over recent years. The outbuildings in the garden appear to have been built with asbestos and as such, a buyer must seek advice before doing any work to remove or restore these buildings.

Melksham is the fourth largest town in Wiltshire and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and charming quintessential villages. Among others, the town is served by a Waitrose supermarket as well as a railway station. The nearby village of Lacock boasts a number of National Trust properties including Lacock Abbey, which was used in the filming of the Harry Potter films. Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf resort is a short drive from Melksham along with the stunning Bowood House. Melksham has easy access to the M4 via the neighbouring town of Chippenham, thanks to the A350 which runs through the town.
