2 Seller Insight Situated in sought after Wine Street, in the historic town of Bradfordon-Avon, is this semi-detached characterful property boasting plenty of period charm, as well as a stunning outlook and beautiful mature garden. In all my time here, I have never grown tired of the changing light in a home that has windows on three sides, says the owner, marking the passage of the day. Since moving in the owner has made various improvements to the property. We replaced a number of the timber windows, restored the stonework where required, replaced one roof, and moved the kitchen back to its original position in the building, also repairing and painting all of the building inside and out. The impressive gardens are another fine feature of this property, facing south west so enjoying plenty of sun. In a classic English cottage style with stone paving, lawns and a selection of mature shrubs, flowers and trees, the gardens are easily maintained and well kept. I have put great care into the landscaping of the garden into multiple levels, says the owner, with meandering pathways between the timber fencing and stone walls. The garden is very sunny with excellent views. Sitting on the northern slopes of Bradford-upon-Avon, the elevated position of the house allows fantastic vistas to the south and west out of town, of which the picturesque centre is a short distance away for shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes. The local schools are good, says the owner, both my children have multiple degrees clocking up six universities between them, as they had an excellent start in the local schools. Other local amenities include churches, doctors and dentists, library, town hall, Wiltshire Music Centre, swimming pool, sports fields and parks, and also within easy reach are lovely riverside country walks. The larger shopping and entertainment centres of Bath and Bristol are both easily reached by road or rail. Bath is only seven miles away and has several theatres, fine restaurants and many unique shops, says the owner. I commute to London as required during the week, with a journey time of two hours on a good day. There is a station in Bradford-on-Avon into Bath, and the rail journey from Bath takes an hour and a half, while the bus service is good and regular to all the local towns. I shall miss the silence, particularly at night. Flying back from the tropics with the constant tinnitus of insects, to close the door and be overwhelmed with a blanket of silence broken only by perhaps an owl, or a fox, or the cattle in the meadows on the other side of the valley, has been a rare privilege. Also given the house is in a town, the darkness is incredibly pure in the unpolluted night sky. * * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

4 The ground floor is focussed around the kitchen/ dining room, the perfect place for entertaining and everyday family life, while the cosy sitting room with its feature fireplace is warm and welcoming on winter nights. A study, utility and cloakroom make up the remainder of the ground floor. My office is lined with books and hung with good watercolours. I love my purpose made artists desk at which I spend so many hours; the log burner for the winter, but most of all the views over the valley that keep me in touch with the natural world. To have created such a good working environment and to use it gives me great pleasure. Upstairs are a family bathroom and three bedrooms with wonderful views, two of which have attractive fireplaces.

6 I love being in the garden with the scream of the swifts in the summer; the mewling of the buzzards that are regular visitors, sometimes as many as six or seven wheeling over the valley; the flash of one of the sparrow hawks that nest close by, or even a rare sighting of a red kite. The fog in the valley in the autumn is a sight to behold, with the interesting foreshortening effects that occur.
