We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
**Virtual tour available** A detached four bedroom bungalow set on a generous plot along The Spa in Melksham.
This property requires refurbishment and offers a significant footprint and the rare addition of a detached, two-storey undeveloped coach house.
With a wrap-around garden, a double garage, and extensive internal space, the house offers a wonderful opportunity to refurbish to your own specification.
The internal accommodation is centred around a wide hallway that connects the living and sleeping quarters.
There are two main reception rooms: a front-facing sitting room and a separate dining room, both offering the proportions required for large-scale family living.
The kitchen is a good size and is supported by a dedicated separate utility room, providing a practical layout that could easily be reconfigured into a contemporary open-plan hub that overlooks the rear grounds.
The bungalow features four double bedrooms, each uniquely benefiting from built-in cupboards, a rare practical feature that maximizes floor space.
In addition to the bedrooms, the layout includes a family bathroom, a separate WC, and a versatile study or home office, making it well-suited for those who work from home.
The single-level flow provides an excellent canvas for a complete internal overhaul, with plenty of scope to reconfigure Externally, the property is situated on a large, level plot with a wrap-around garden primarily laid to lawn.
A sweeping driveway leads to a substantial detached double garage, providing ample secure storage or workshop space. The standout feature of the grounds is the undeveloped two-storey coach house.
This separate building offers immense potential for conversion into a self-contained annex, a high-end home office, or a creative studio, adding significant value and versatility to the overall site.
