Tory, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, BA15

Nestled into the hillside on the north side of the picturesque market town of Bradford-on-Avon this traditional weavers’ cottage enjoys an elevated position and far-reaching views across the town and beyond to glorious Wiltshire countryside. Sitting mid-terrace and arranged over four floors the characterful two-bedroom circa 1720s built period home comes with a split-level secluded garden which is separated from the front of the house by a small footpath. ‘We’ve lived here since 1997 and were very attracted to the sought-after position and the wonderful character of the house. The Tory is a very quiet part of town with a lovely safe and close-knit little community – a huge bonus is that there is no passing traffic or traffic noise. One can access the town centre, railway station, schools, and the surrounding countryside on foot; living here gives one the best of both worlds,’ explain the owners. Bradford-on-Avon is a thriving town which boasts some great independent shops, restaurants, bars and small businesses as well as the Wiltshire Music Centre with its programme of performances from local, national and international artists. Located a twenty-minute drive, or a fifteen-minute train ride, from Bath it sits on a mainline route to London’s Waterloo Station, a journey which, on average, takes two and a half hours. Direct trains from nearby Bath and Chippenham take just over an hour.

‘The house is bursting with character, and one never tires of waking up to seeing the glorious views of the town through the sash windows. The light and bright sitting room with its wood burner is one of our favourite spaces.’

‘The house is nicely up-together, and, in February 2023 we installed a brand-new Worcester boiler.’

‘We have great neighbours and socialise with those on both sides – it’s the kind of area where people are friendly, and everyone helps each other out.’

‘The kitchen/dining room, which can easily accommodate six for a meal, is great for entertaining.’

‘During the summer we love to spend time in the very secluded lower-level part of the garden which is set high above the town.’

‘The best qualities of the house and garden are undoubtedly the views along with the fact it is a very cosy and comfortable home. It’s offered us many happy years and we’ll miss everything about living here.’
