About this home

Welcome to Inglewood, Place Road, Melksham

Occupying an enviable position on historic Place Road, Inglewood presents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home combining character, history and future potential.

Situated within one of Melksham's most sought-after addresses, this three-bedroom property enjoys a sense of privacy rarely found so close to the town centre. Created in 1864 on the site of the former Place House, Place Road has long been regarded as one of the town's most prestigious locations, offering convenient access to amenities whilst retaining the charm of Melksham's historic heart.

Originally built as the coach house to the principal residence, Inglewood was purchased together with the main house and approximately one acre of grounds in 1958. It served as a medical practice for many years before being converted into a private residence in 1984. As the estate evolved, parts of the grounds were developed and the original house divided, creating four individual properties where once there had been one.

Having remained in the same ownership since 1958, Inglewood is now being offered for sale for the first time in almost 70 years.

The property offers generous accommodation and an abundance of character, providing an excellent opportunity for enhancement, reconfiguration and modernisation. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, there may also be scope for further development.

Whether seeking a family home, a property rich in heritage, or a project through which to create a dream residence, Inglewood offers a rare combination of location, individuality and opportunity. Properties of this nature and history are seldom available, making early viewing highly recommended.
