About this property

Occupying a charming position within the heart of historic Bradford on Avon, this fine home is a beautifully presented 17th Century townhouse arranged over three floors, offering a rare combination of genuine period character and thoughtfully considered modern living. Set in terraced landscaped grounds taking advantage of the open aspect.

The property retains a wealth of original features typical of the era, including exposed beams, traditional joinery and deep-set stone mullion windows, all of which contribute to an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. These historic elements have been carefully balanced with sensitive updates to meet the demands of contemporary life, resulting in a home that is both characterful and highly practical. The versatile accommodation is laid out over three floors, providing well-proportioned living and bedroom spaces ideal for both day-to-day living and entertaining. A central hall leads through to a rear split level lobby, with flagstone floor, giving access to the garden in addition to a usable cellar. Symmetrical, bay fronted reception rooms flank the main hall and include a family room with ornamental fireplace with a shelved niche to one side and a lovely dining/sitting room with a fitted wood burner. With ample room for table and seating, a shallow flight of steps ascend to a comprehensively fitted kitchen with natural stone tiled floor. An excellent range of cabinets under quartz tops incorporate a breakfast bar and butler sink. A combination gas/electric Aga takes centre stage in addition to a combination oven. The room looks out to the rear courtyard and links to the lobby, off of which is a pantry cupboard and access to the side walkway. A cloakroom is also located off the lobby with a high level WC. The first floor comprises a wonderful double aspect, beamed drawing room with enclosed stairs to the top floor. A fabulous ornately carved marble fireplace surround is fitted with a wood burner for cosy nights. Three windows each have fitted window seats with the rear one looking out across the gardens. Also on this floor is the principal suite, offering a large double bedroom with window seat to the front and an ornamental fireplace. A door and steps ascend to a spacious bathroom, featuring a claw foot bath and a linen cupboard. The top floor is approached by a winding oak staircase from the drawing room to a beamed landing, ideal as a study. Exposed wood floors extend through this level with a dormered double bedroom and bathroom on one side and on the opposite side is a further front facing double bedroom that connects to a further double bedroom with access to the attic (AGENTS NOTE: These two rooms could be divided, subject to permissions to create a total of four independent bedrooms if required).

Outside
To the rear of the property lies a thoughtfully landscaped and terraced garden, designed to complement the house and make excellent use of the setting. The garden provides a number of private seating areas and lawn with flower and shrub beds adding to this attractive outdoor space, ideal for relaxation, dining and entertaining. Predominantly walled, the garden benefits from its elevated outlook and takes advantage of the southerly aspect with views across the surrounding area. To the front is a walled garden with a gate and foliage screen.

Situation
Woolley Street is widely regarded as one of Bradford on Avon’s most attractive streets, lying just moments from the town centre. With many shops, boutiques and restaurants in the town, there is a wide selection of country walks to neighbouring villages with the Kennet and Avon canal a short distance away and the railway station less than a half a mile walk. Mainline trains run to Weymouth and Bristol, with Bath only a 10 minute journey away. Ease of access is also provided to London Paddington. The number of quaint shops, pubs and tea rooms in the town are too numerous to mention, but a joy to explore and find.
