NO ONWARD CHAIN - Rare to the market and set in a quiet position next to the Kennet and Avon canal on a plot in excess of 2.5 acres, this five-bedroom detached farmhouse offers substantial internal accommodation with the addition of an adjoining barn conversion currently used as part of the main residence. There is potential to create self-contained accommodation whilst further external storage is available by way of outbuildings and stables. 

As you approach the property via a quiet country lane you are greeted by gates that provide access to a long driveway and off-street parking for multiple vehicles. The property is set on a generous plot surrounded by greenery and backs onto the Kennet and Avon canal and comes with the added benefit of mooring rights. There are ample spots to sit and enjoy a picturesque view in every direction as well as the peacefulness of the surrounding countryside. 

As you enter the farmhouse via the original front door, you are greeted by a central entrance hall with character tiled flooring which gives access to ground floor accommodation. Overlooking the front aspect are two formal reception rooms of similar sizes. Currently used as a sitting room and dining room, each room enjoys views over the gardens with the sitting room benefiting from a feature fireplace with wood burner which creates a cosy atmosphere during the winter months. Moving through the property the kitchen comprises of fully fitted wall and base units with views over the paddock and countryside beyond through the garden room. There is also the added benefit of a utility room and ground floor WC.  Subject to consents, there is potential to extend the kitchen to create an impressive open plan kitchen-diner / family room with access to the garden and paddock, if desired.

To the side of the farmhouse, and entrance hall has been added to join the developed barn conversion which is now used as the day-to-day entrance. The adjoining two storey barn offers further accommodation with flexibility in its uses. Currently the barn comprises of an open plan kitchen-diner / sitting room measuring a generous 24’ 9” x 13’ 9” with double French doors that open onto a patio, as well as a family room, study, ground floor shower-room, mezzanine and ample storage space.  

Returning to the original farmhouse, stairs from the entrance hall to first floor give access to two double and one single bedroom. The master bedroom measures 15’ 2” x 13’ 1” and benefits from built in wardrobes as well as an ensuite shower room. Bedroom two is also a spacious double room with built in wardrobes and views over the paddock through double glazed windows. Bedroom three is a single bedroom which is currently used as a dressing room with built in storage. Equally, this would make a great study or nursery. A second staircase leads to the top floor where there are two further double bedrooms and a WC. The second floor would make the perfect spot for children to retreat to and retains character features with wooden beams and over countryside and the canal.

Externally, Melksham Park Farm sits on a generous plot in excess of 2.5 acres comprising of well tendered private gardens, a large paddock, private seating areas and stables / outbuildings.
