Middle Rank, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, BA15 1NL

This distinguished and handsome double-fronted Grade II Listed house occupies an enviable and peaceful position within a charming terrace built in the style of 17th century weavers cottages on the highly desirable Bath side of Bradford on Avon. This three bedroom property offers notably versatile and well-proportioned space partnered with contemporary refinement, enjoying a remarkable elevated setting with sweeping, far-reaching views over the town’s rooftops and the rolling countryside beyond. The location itself is wonderfully tranquil, with a strong sense of community, yet remains conveniently placed for access to the town centre, local amenities, schools, countryside walks, and transport links to Bath and beyond.

Set across three thoughtfully arranged floors, this home has been tastefully and meticulously refurbished throughout by the current owners. The ground floor welcomes you into a 15’ kitchen/breakfast room which is beautifully appointed with a range of tasteful cabinetry, tiling, quality work surfaces, and integrated appliances that include a cooker, hob, fridge, and a new boiler in 2019. The layout has been carefully considered to allow for both practical use and relaxed family dining. Opposite the kitchen is a charming and highly versatile snug or playroom. This room has been fitted with extensive built-in storage, making it ideal for young families or as a secondary sitting room, home library, study area, or creative space. At the rear of the ground floor, a stylishly tiled shower room has been fitted with a modern suite including a walk-in shower, WC, wash basin, and heated towel rail, with a high standard of finish that continues throughout the home.

Upstairs, the first floor accommodates a double bedroom and a spacious single bedroom, each beautifully decorated and inviting. The larger of the two measures 15 feet in length and benefits from generous fitted wardrobe storage. Both rooms enjoy a commanding and wonderful view at the front and offer a peaceful retreat. The family bathroom is also located on this floor and has been finished to an excellent specification, with a full-size bath and shower over, modern sanitaryware including a WC and wash basin, and a radiator for towels. A large window adds a sense of airiness and light.

The second floor is a particularly impressive feature of the house, offering a wonderfully bright and expansive landing area (with storage) that flows openly into a spectacular 17-foot living room. This space is flooded with natural light thanks to large windows and offers simply breathtaking views that stretch for miles. The absence of dividing walls here creates a sense of openness and scale that is both uplifting and serene. Also on this floor is a delightful 12-foot double bedroom, again with fitted storage and perfectly suited as a guest room, teenage bedroom, or additional study space.

Externally, the house continues to exceed expectations. The front garden has been designed as a private and secluded oasis, with a mix of mature planting beds featuring colourful perennials, shrubs, and carefully tended greenery. An area of lawn offers a soft landscape for relaxation, while a paved patio area provides an excellent space for al fresco dining or hosting guests.

A truly standout feature is the attractive stone-built garden office, measuring over 11 feet and finished to a high residential specification in March 2020 when it was converted. It includes efficient triple glazing, full insulation, proper flooring, underfloor heating with an additional electric radiator, lighting, and a power supply. This makes it a perfect solution for remote working, a creative studio, or simply a tranquil spot in which to relax away from the main house.

The property occupies a popular position on the Bath side of Bradford on Avon, in the catchment area and within walking distance of both St Laurence Secondary School and Christchurch Primary School. It offers relatively easy (albeit sloping) access to the music centre and town centre with its many independent shops, diverse restaurant scene, public houses, library and swimming pool, and there is a handy convenience store just a few minutes away. The railway station provides direct services to Bath, Bristol and London Waterloo and is also accessible by foot, and for those who would rather take the bus, there is a dependable local service that picks up from a stop close to the house, providing a service both into the town centre and out to Bath. Sladesbrook Park, Ashley Park, and a variety of playing fields are also on offer just around the corner, as are plenty of peaceful country walks.
