Description
The garden to the rear is a superb size, level and landscaped to a contemporary feel with 3 areas of patio for seating, a large level lawn, gravelled areas, raised beds and 2 side access points. A west facing garden, without any obstructions on the south side, means that this outdoor space is particularly sunny and perfect for entertaining friends throughout the afternoon to the evening. In addition to he front is a large double width block paved driveway for at least 2 cars.
Set just off Snowberry Lane, this popular road is a fantastic location, with nature reserve and open spaces nearby, local shops, the Spa medical centre and children's parks just around the corner. Close enough to walk into town where a wide range of independent shops can be found and every supermarket from Aldi to Waitrose! For the more sporty, a quick stroll along the road and you will find the rugby and football clubs where you can watch a game or a gymnastics centre or soft play can be found at nearby Bowerhill. On the Devizes side of town, the access to Bath and Chippenham is still quick via the A350 and the access to the southern areas is also on your doorstep. Melksham has it's own rail station with links to Trowbridge and Swindon. Bus services are excellent and run just along Snowberry lane which is a very short stroll away.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
