Summary - 34, LOWBOURNE, MELKSHAM SN12 7DZ
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Charming character home close to Melksham town centre with renovation potential.
Grade II listed detached cottage, mid-18th century
A genuine slice of 18th-century character in the heart of Melksham, this Grade II listed detached cottage offers original beams, a private front and rear garden, and a traditional layout that suits first-time buyers or investor renovators. The house presents comfortable basics — double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, and an average overall size of about 735 sq ft.
The property will suit someone who values history and is willing to carry out sympathetic works. Listed status means alterations will be restricted and can be costly; the EPC is F and the cottage shows signs of dated fixtures and potential damp in places, so energy and remedial works are likely. The small plot and compact room sizes favour buyers who prioritise character over expansive living space.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, convenient town-centre location and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Note the area records higher crime and local social-economic challenges; buyers should factor this into resale or rental plans. Overall this is a unique opportunity to own a period property with clear renovation potential and modest running costs (cheap council tax).
