The former Lloyds building on Melksham’s High Street, will go up for online auction on July 22. The property is currently being marketed by Hollis Morgan Auctions.
The former bank has been vacant for more than four years. Planning permission was granted in December 2023 to convert the existing building into a scheme of seven self-contained one- and two-bedroom apartments.
The building is located in the heart of Melksham with 5,913 square feet of accommodation arranged primarily over two floors plus a large basement area and five off-street parking spaces on Place Road.

While those permissions have already been obtained, the development is nevertheless being marketed as something of a blank slate, with several options on the table for interested parties.
The agents for the property also say there is the potential to create three large townhouses.
In addition to residential usage, there is also scope to retain it as a commercial property, with the listing stating the site would still suit a range of commercial uses either as one large unit or split into multiple units.
Lloyds closed the branch in February 2022, despite campaigning from MPs and local councillors.
