Silver Street, Bradford-On-Avon, BA15

The Vintners is a stunning Grade II listed former wine warehouse, dating around 1890 and converted in 2019 by award winning local architect Klas Hyllen, into a warm, light-filled family home. Designed with a crisp and contemporary touch, this property blends a historic warehouse atmosphere with a thoughtfully curated interior, offering functional elegance and a wonderfully bright and open home. A walled garden provides a peaceful retreat right in the centre of town, while off-road parking ensures everyday convenience. The entrance is accessed off a charming archway leading into the generous open plan ground floor with kitchen, dining, living and play space. This wonderful versatile space fuses architectural detail with modern interior design. Arched windows span one wall, allowing light to filter in. The kitchen is designed by Made by Husk, with bespoke birch plywood cabinets and integrated appliances and is located at one end of this large space with a dining area taking centre stage. The sitting room is organised across the south easterly side of the ground floor, where sliding glass doors frame views to the garden and open directly onto the terrace.

Of particular note is the beautifully crafted birch plywood clad staircase, the centrepiece of the home around which all rooms are organised. Exposed original steel column and beam hint of the building’s industrial use and the dramatic suspended stairs that rises to the second floor is outstanding. The first floor snug/family room is a lovely spot to relax and there is fun and playful hammock net suspended within the void. The principal bedroom has a tall, pitched ceiling creating an impressive angular volume, plus full-height glazing, offering a view over the garden. Large sliding doors open on to a Juliet balcony. There is a bank of wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower finished in marble. A further double bedroom is also located on this floor. On the second floor you find two generous bedrooms and the family bathroom designed with a smart mix of terrazzo and green tiles plus laundry facilities. A cavernous basement extends below the adjacent building. At nearly 3m tall it offers lots of potential for further development with approved consents already in place for functional spaces as well as a cinema room, playroom, wine cellar and/or a home gym/spa. In its current state it offers generous storage and is defined by some remarkable historic features such as an old goods lift and stone shelving.

Outside

This stunning contemporary home converted from a former wine warehouse, is approached via tall wooden doors on Silver Street in the heart of Bradford on Avon. This charming Saxon town with graceful architecture akin to its Georgian neighbour, Bath, is famous for its attractive streets and thriving local community of independent shops and cafés. There are several fashionable places to wine and dine including The Bunch of Grapes, as well as those who benefit from a riverside or canal side setting, all within walking distance. The town is well-equipped for daily amenities and is within the catchment area for the highly regarded St Laurence secondary school. Bradford-on-Avon’s train station is a major asset to the town.

Situation

The tall, gated archway gives access to a parking area and the walled garden, a haven in the middle of a town. The garden has been well designed with different areas to use depending on the time of day. Adjacent to the sitting room area, with generous sliding doors linking the inside and outside, is an attractive terrace perfect for morning coffee. The south-west facing garden is mainly laid to lawn bordered by a stone wall planter filled to the brim with purple Verbena. The honey-coloured high stone wall provides an impressive back drop with a climbing Wisteria and young trees. The large, decked terrace is the perfect area for relaxing and dining with an aspect looking back to your stunning home and the hills of the town in the distance. Integrated and sensor-controlled lighting allows evening entertaining to continue later into the night.
