Description

A superb opportunity to buy a modernised and contemporary 4 bedroom home in Primrose Drive. This fantastic family home has been extended over the years, and now also offers a fabulous 26ft Kitchen/breakfast room, modern bathroom, en suite, and superb conservatory. In addition, there is a flexible room , currently used as an office, but would equally make a fabulous playroom or snug. The downstairs rooms flow from one to another, so has a great open plan feel but with the ability to shut off some rooms if desired. With large double glazed windows, the light is exceptional throughout this home and with everything so up to date, you just need to put your own stamp on it with your own decorating style. As kitchens go, this is one of the largest I've seen in a house this size, with huge amounts of storage, space for washing machine, tumble drier and two fridge/freezers. The large range cooker will be included in the sale and offers several cooking options and looks fantastic. The attention to detail is excellent, with floor level lighting, Marble style floor tiling, Perspex topped, stainless steel inset sink and large breakfast bar. This huge  family kitchen opens up into the playroom/study and then through to the dining room as well as having a rear door onto the garden. The conservatory is also a real feature at the rear with two sets of French doors which open out onto the garden, downlights, and heat/light reflecting glass roof. Imagine all the doors thrown open on a glorious sunny day! Perfect ! The living room , with fireplace and gas fire, and dining space are open plan with more than enough space for large sofas and dining furniture. A modern downstairs WC is a useful addition off the hallway. Upstairs are 3 double bedrooms and one single. The master bedroom extends over the garage includes built in wardrobes and its own modern re-fitted ensuite bathroom with shower over the bath. An excellent sized room, which is further complimented by bedroom 2, which is also large enough to accommodate a super king bed and also benefits from built in wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is also an excellent double room with recess for wardrobes and bedroom 4 is the perfect child's single room or an alternative/additional study. Both the family bathroom and en suite have been modernised and refitted with crisp white suites, and contemporary tiling.  
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.
