House For Sale £399,000
Situation and general information
The property is tucked away in a quiet backwater of Bradford on Avon, a short distance from the town centre, and is accessible via a pedestrian footpath only. It occupies a generous size sloping, well stocked plot which is bounded by stone walling to two sides and natural hedging. Local facilities, which are within some 10 minutes’ walk, include gp Surgery, Library and Indoor Swimming Pool. The mainline railway station connects to the World Heritage City of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, London (via Bath or Chippenham) Portsmouth and Southampton. M4 access can be gained at either Junction 18 (Bath) or Junction 17 (Chippenham).
The property is of unconventional construction and is now in need of renovation. It does offer a challenge to any would be purchaser but the end result would be a home of reasonable proportions, a lovely garden, all within easy access of the town centre and the shops, restaurants and amenities therein.
