Trusted Kitchen Worktop Installers in Melksham

Melksham Worktop Information

Melksham is a market town in Wiltshire, on the Bristol Avon, about 6 miles south of Chippenham and 4 miles north-east of Trowbridge. The SN12 postcode covers the town and the surrounding Melksham Without civil parish, including Bowerhill to the south, Shaw and Whitley to the east, and the rural villages in the Avon valley. Melksham was an important wool centre in the medieval period and developed a rubber industry in the Victorian era, with the Avon Rubber Company establishing works in the town and purchasing Melksham House in 1920 as a staff club. The town has a Georgian character around the Market Place and the Town Hall. The wider SN12 rural area has some premium properties, including a Bath Stone house believed to date from 1750 in the town, and rural village properties in Whitley and Broughton Gifford that attract buyers seeking Wiltshire countryside character with Bath and Chippenham access. Average house prices in SN12 run modestly below the Wiltshire average for the standard town housing, while the outer village properties run significantly above it.
