A Family Home with a Cheerful Color Palette in a Historic House
Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of Bradford-on-Avon’s historic centre, this exquisite Georgian townhouse is a masterclass in sensitive restoration. Built in the 18th century and extending over five thoughtfully arranged levels, the three-bedroom home spans 1,765 sq ft of refined living space.
Inside, pared-back interiors enriched with period details and a sophisticated Edward Bulmer color palette achieve a harmonious blend of classic elegance and contemporary restraint.
Outside, a peaceful private courtyard offers a secluded retreat. The home’s striking Bathstone façade, original sash windows, and traditional dual-pitched roof speak to its storied heritage, while its interiors reflect a considered, modern sensibility.
The living room lies at the front of the ground floor with two large sash windows facing the quiet residential street. The room is painted in a striking yellow hue, making the white-painted period cornice and skirting stand out wonderfully.
The room is centered around a fireplace with marble floor tiles, which is flanked by built-in bookshelves. Warm-toned oak floorboards run underfoot.
The owners blocked the original wooden door leading to the hallway with a piano, but there is another entry leading to the living room past the staircase leading to the kitchen.
The kitchen lies as the back of the house, pairing red shaker cabinets with brass knobs, a smooth acrylic worktop, and a marble backsplash.
Soft pink upper cabinets contrast with the deep red shade. On one wall, the owners created a charming coffee corner and breakfast area.
The double Belfast sink stands under the window overlooking the small courtyard garden.
The hall features the original flagstone floor, and on one wall, blue-painted paneling and a bench have been fitted for coats and shoe storage.
The master bedroom is a wonderful retreat, featuring light turquoise walls and natural oak floorboards.
The owners created a charming space where you can spend the entire evening. A pink sofa has been placed against the bed opposite the fireplace, creating the perfect, calm lounge area to unwind after a long day.
The first floor also features this beautiful bathroom with pale rose-tinted walls above milky white half-height shiplap paneling. The pitched ceiling with exposed wooden beams and brickwork adds a sense of space while also showcasing the house’s history.
The room is fitted with a freestanding bath and a spacious walk-in shower.
The second and third floors have one spacious bedroom each. One is used as a children’s room with a climbing wall and charming old timber doors.
The house has a small, quiet courtyard garden surrounded by brick walls that can be accessed via the kitchen.
The house is listed for £650,000 at Inigo.
